This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
Add a Word-class document editor to your product without the six-month build. Canvas-rendered, DOCX + PDF in the browser, live collaboration, track changes. MIT-licensed, zero runtime dependencies.
A while back I needed to put a real Word editor inside a web app - open a .docx, edit it, export it back, ideally with collaboration. Every option pushed me into the same corner: the commercial editors (Syncfusion, OnlyOffice, DevExpress) are great but bill per seat and usually need a server running before they'll even render a page. And a contenteditable div falls apart the moment you hit page breaks, real DOCX export, or print-accurate PDF.
So I built the thing I wanted:
- Canvas-rendered, paginates exactly like Word (no contenteditable) - Real DOCX + PDF import/export, fully in the browser - MIT-licensed, zero runtime dependencies, no server required to render - Optional live collaboration, track changes & comments - Same engine runs headless on Node, so a server-generated PDF is pixel-identical to what's on screen
You drop it in with one import and a <div>.
It's also on npm:
npm install @forevka/wordcanvas
The whole thing (editor + examples) is live and open-source — try breaking it, open a weird .docx, export a PDF. I'd genuinely love feedback on where it falls short.
