## Project history and usage

doxx is a Rust command-line viewer for Microsoft Word .docx files, aimed at people who want to inspect, search, and export documents without leaving a terminal.

### Project history

The GitHub repository was created in August 2025. Its README describes a terminal-native .docx viewer with interactive navigation, formatting, table rendering, search, image support for capable terminals, and exports to Markdown, CSV, JSON, plain text, and ANSI-colored text.

The public release history listed by GitHub starts with v0.1.1 in August 2025 and continues through v0.1.4 in May 2026. The project is young, so its history is mostly the rapid packaging and feature-growth phase of a new terminal utility.

### Adoption history

The official README documents installation through Cargo, Homebrew, Debian/Ubuntu as rust-doxx, Arch Linux, Nix, NetBSD, Conda-Forge, prebuilt GitHub release binaries, and a planned Scoop bucket. That unusually broad package-manager footprint came very early in the project's life.

### How it is used

Users run doxx on a .docx file to view it in the terminal, search text, start in outline mode, render colors and supported terminal images, or export document contents into text-oriented formats for scripts and pipes.

### Why package nerds care

doxx matters to package nerds as a fresh example of Rust terminal tooling reaching many ecosystems quickly: a desktop-office format becomes a small CLI, with binaries and distro packages turning a GUI-heavy workflow into something scriptable.

### Timeline

- 2025: GitHub repository created for bgreenwell/doxx.
- 2025: v0.1.1 published as the earliest GitHub release listed by the repository.
- 2026: v0.1.4 published, with the README documenting Homebrew, Debian/Ubuntu, Arch, Nix, NetBSD, Conda-Forge, and prebuilt binary install paths.

### Related projects

- doxx sits near terminal document viewers, Rust TUIs, and Office-document conversion tools. Its README specifically frames it around .docx files and terminal workflows rather than as a general office suite.
