The open source DOCX editor submitted to HN a few weeks ago has been deleted
The github repo under eigenpal is gone. The web site at docx-editor is 503. No idea what's going on.

The original source (matching the latest published NPM version) is still at https://github.com/mhurhangee/patrick/tree/main/packages and Apache-2.0, so I imagine that someone who'd like a copy can pick it up from there.
This link should be enough to work out the relevant links. [1] I would guess that they have lost access to a resource lately ... I've read there's a lot of that going around atm. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=thisisjedr
i'd wager a guess that they gave up on their "experiment" the top comment on the show hn would seem quite apt if so https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46971202
Also not affiliated but my open-source tinycld uses docx as the backend storage for its text package. Supports _most_ of the features (including comments and suggestions) but is still very young. It has a golang backend that reads/writes docx and translates to YJS that the editor reads for multi-user access. Has web/iOS/Android support. I found docx to be a very well documented format and a surprisingly good fit for this. https://tinycld.org has a live demo
Not affiliated but I been using https://github.com/superdoc-dev/superdoc and it is very good and compatible with many docx features.
