There is a real need for a native WYSIWYG word processor with clean, plain-text-friendly storage. MiniWord was built to address this, motivated by direct frustration with Word instability.

Converting Word documents to Markdown requires uploading files to third-party servers

Developers and technical writers who need to convert .docx files to Markdown must typically upload documents to cloud services, risking exposure of confidential content.
