Hey, I'm building something a bit like that - please checkout https://smalldocs.org if you have time.

I say it’s as if “Claude Code & Microsoft Office had a baby...”

Sample document: https://smalldocs.org/blogs/what-is-a-smalldoc

Invoked via Claude Code by saying stuff like: “sdoc me the plan for this feature”, or “dig into our logs and sdoc me a report on our latency"

Realistically... everyone's using it from students, to lawyers, to academics, and so on and so forth.

And given that LibreOffice and Google Docs are pretty good nowadays and OOXML is an open standard now post the monopoly rulings of the 90s, it's not quite as bad as it used to be.
