Show HN: Doxx – Terminal .docx viewer inspired by Glow

Show HN: Doxx – Terminal .docx viewer inspired by Glow I got tired of open file.docx → wait 8 seconds → close Word just to read a document, so I built a terminal-native Word viewer!<p>What it does:<p>* View `.docx` files directly in your terminal with (mostly) proper formatting<p>* Tables actually look like tables (with Unicode borders!)<p>* Nested lists work correctly with indentation<p>* Full-text search with highlighting<p>* Copy content straight to clipboard with `c`<p>* Export to markdown&#x2F;CSV&#x2F;JSON<p>Why I made this:<p>Working on servers over SSH, I constantly hit Word docs I needed to check quickly. The existing solutions I&#x27;m aware of either strip all formatting (docx2txt) or require GUI apps. Wanted something that felt as polished as [glow](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;charmbracelet&#x2F;glow" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;charmbracelet&#x2F;glow</a>) but for Word documents.<p>The good stuff:<p>* 50ms startup vs Word&#x27;s 8+ seconds<p>* Works over SSH (obviously)<p>* Preserves document structure and formatting<p>* Smart table alignment based on data types<p>* Interactive outline view for long docs<p>Built with Rust + ratatui and heavily inspired by Charm&#x27;s [glow](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;charmbracelet&#x2F;glow" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;charmbracelet&#x2F;glow</a>) package for viewing Markdown in the CLI (built in Go)!<p><pre><code> # Install cargo install --git https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;bgreenwell&#x2F;doxx # Use doxx quarterly-report.docx </code></pre> Still early but handles most Word docs I throw at it. Always wanted a proper Word viewer in my terminal toolkit alongside `bat`, `glow`, and friends. Let me know what you think!
