## What it is
doxx is a fast, terminal-native viewer for .docx Word documents built in Rust with Ratatui. It renders formatting, tables, lists, images, and equations in the terminal, with search and export, requiring no Microsoft Office.

## Use cases
- view docx files in the terminal
- read Word documents without installing Microsoft Office
- search inside .docx documents from the command line
- export docx content to text or markdown
- preview Word document tables and formatting in a TUI
- quickly inspect docx attachments over ssh

## When to choose
- you live in the terminal and need to read .docx files quickly
- you're on a headless server or SSH session without Office or a GUI
- you want fast, safe rendering of Word documents with search and export

## When to avoid
- you need to edit or create .docx files
- you need pixel-perfect WYSIWYG rendering of complex Word layouts
- you primarily work with legacy .doc (pre-2007) formats
