Show HN: Docx-to-Markdown – layout-aware Word to Markdown converter

Hacker News - Wed, 09/16/2026 - 11:24am

Hey HN, I’m the author of the https://github.com/eigenpal/docx-editor, it’s an SDK that implements Word-compatible layout engine in Typescript.

Today, we are releasing Word to markdown converter library. It’s open source and published under Apache 2.0 license. It uses our layout engine, so it can return accurate, per-page markdown blocks (with headers, footers, and image references). We also handle fonts (Google fonts as fallback) or let you pass your font files upfront for accurate content measurement.

To our surprise, Word to per-page Markdown conversion is not a solved problem even in 2026! We initially faced this friction when preprocessing Word documents for agentic workflows. For our use case, it was important to represent per-page content in markdown. Initially, we ended up using LibreOffice sidecar to convert to PDF and then using .pdf -> .md library. This was not ideal given that LibreOffice sidecar that was sitting idle most of the time.

This issue is addressed with docx-to-markdown library. it can be used directly in your Typescript ingestion pipeline. Try with your docs at https://www.docx-editor.dev/solutions/word-to-markdown.

Show HN: FainLane – Paste screenshots into remote coding agents with Ctrl+V

Hacker News - Wed, 09/16/2026 - 11:21am

Hi all,

I run all my CLI coding agents in a remote cloud VM and not being able to paste screenshots has been my only annoyance.

So I built this small (2mb) native macOS app that helps me paste screenshots into remote coding agents with Ctrl+V, same as pasting images on coding agents running on my local mac. The app automatically detects the remote host based on the focused window and uploads the image over SSH inside the `~/.cache/fainlane/uploads/` directory on the remote machine and then inserts the path at cursor.

The app supports Ghostty, iTerm2, and Apple Terminal. Works even if you have multiple remote hosts you connect to. And works if you use tmux as well.

Show HN: ManyBot – Framework to build WhatsApp bots, without the boring part

Hacker News - Wed, 09/16/2026 - 10:31am

Built on top of Baileys. The goal is to handle all the tedious work—opening sockets, authentication, reloading—and leave you to focus solely on command logic and how you want your bot to be.
