Show HN: A WYSIWYG word processor in Python
A developer, drawing on 25 years of research into rich text data structures sparked by frustration with Microsoft Word during their diploma thesis, has launched MiniWord—a native, non-HTML-based WYSIWYG word processor built in Python—while on a professional break. The tool currently supports real WYSIWYG editing with styles, images, tables, a human-readable, git-friendly file format, Markdown compatibility, and Python plugin support, and the developer is seeking feedback on use cases, missing features, and valuable extensions.
