README.md

MiniWord

A minimal word processor in python. In development but already great.

Screenshot

Key Aspects

  * Real WYSIWYG editing (no HTML layer, no embedded browser)
  * Lightweight and fast startup
  * Minimal dependencies (wxPython + Cairo)
  * Clean, simple file format (human-readable, diff-friendly,
    git-friendly, AI-friendly)
  * Good Markdown support
  * Extensible via Python-plugins

Dependencies

Miniword is developed under Linux but should run under Windows and
Mac as well.

The following dependencies are required:

  * Python >= 3.9
  * wxPython >= 4.0
  * Cairo >= 1.2

On Debian all dependencies are installed by

sudo apt install python3-wxgtk4.0 python3-cairo

Testing

Running miniword without installation is possible:

cd miniword
python -m miniword

Install

Install all dependencies. Then

cd miniword
pip install .

If you want to install the plugins (you probably will)

mkdir -p ~/.miniword/plugins
cp examples/*.py ~/.miniword/plugins

If you want to register MiniWord to the desktop (you probably will)

cp miniword/icons/miniword.svg ~/.local/share/icons/
cp miniword.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
