Original Summary

I’ve been working on a desktop app called Typress, and I finally finished the first stage. The original idea came from a problem I ran into while experimenting with AI and documents. I initially tried to use an LLM to modify a Word document directly. It quickly became clear how painful that approach is. OOXML is extremely complicated, and even when you manage to modify it correctly, Word can still rewrite parts of the document in ways that make things surprisingly difficult to control. So I started wondering: What if we stopped trying to make AI work with the document format we inherited from the past, and designed the document format around AI instead? That’s the idea behind Typress. Instead of using OOXML as its underlying document model, Typress uses a structured document representation that an AI can understand and modify more naturally. The other part I’m experimenting with is the editing experience. The goal isn’t to make another Notion or another Markdown editor. I want something closer to Word in terms of document layout and printing, while making AI a first-class part of the editor. For example, the AI can modify not only the text, but also things like formatting, styles, tables and document structure. The first version is now working, and I’m currently preparing for the actual launch. I haven’t enabled payments yet because I’m still waiting for some US business/tax paperwork to be completed. At this point, I’m much more interested in honest feedback than users or sales . Does this idea actually make sense to you? And more importantly: If you were designing a word processor from scratch today, what would you do differently from Microsoft Word?   submitted by   /u/SignatureOpposite504 [link]   [comments]
