#42For those interested here * is a similar project that I believe is * not* vibe coded posted a few weeks ago **. * https://github.com/eigenpal/docx-editor ** https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48228411
quite a few "... and claude" commits lately at least.
There's a genuine difference between pure vibe coding and just using Claude to polish things a bit.

Why do you say it doesn't work? It seems to work fine for the feature parity they claim.
For “pixel-faithful” documents it doesn’t seem to be replicating documents all too well based on the many other testimonies in these comments

#46So I just tried this with a bunch of medium-complex documents and it's wildly wrong. I suspect the authors have never seen an actually complicated Word document?
vibe coded, it seems from the commit history (and readme lol)

#48From my experience, the team that's the closest to open-source pixel-perfect Word support is https://github.com/superdoc-dev/superdoc (unaffiliated)

Ironic, that you are agreeing with a post saying they put in little effort for the implementation when you have put in absolutely no effort in saying that it doesn't produce pixel-faithful documents, such as producing a single concrete example.

Do you have any actual examples of documents where it did not work?
