DocSpec to Rust/WASM
Document conversion SDK for rich text formats
DocSpec is an open-source document conversion SDK for modern web editors such as BlockNote and Tiptap. It currently supports document import in La Suite Docs, a European sovereign collaboration platform used by public-sector teams. This project will port DocSpec from Elixir to Rust and compile it to WebAssembly so it can run directly in the browser. That matters for end-to-end encrypted and local-first applications, where document conversion cannot happen on a server because the server must not see the document's contents. The goal is to make privacy-preserving document interoperability practical for European public-sector, sovereign, and open-source ecosystems, especially where both OOXML and OpenDocument formats need to coexist.
