- A document editor built to use ribbon menus, styles, tables, change tracking, and mail merge like Word. According to the README, it opens and saves .docx files and runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, BSD, and web browsers.
- The README says it implements 88% of Word's ribbon features as commands. It estimates that it can replace about 60% of real work, about 55% of everyday work, and about 63% of routine features, and notes that all these figures are standards set by the development team.
- Installers can be downloaded from the GitHub releases page. The command-line tool wordcraft-cli can convert documents to PDF and other formats, and the web version is run from the apps/wordcraft-web folder with the serve command of the trunk tool.
- The project is made by the ArtCraft team and is licensed under MIT or Apache-2.0. The editor did not verify this or build the program directly, so the above should be read as claims made in the original article.
The README does not explain the basis on which the figure 88% was derived, so it should be read as the development team's own estimate. The original also leaves open, as a task to verify before the beta, whether charts and SmartArt survive being reopened after saving. For important .docx files, it would be safer to open a copy first and check whether tables and the table of contents still appear as they should before working on the original.
