## What it is
HOP is an open-source desktop application for viewing and editing HWP/HWPX documents (the Korean Hangul word processor format) on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It wraps the rhwp parsing/rendering engine and adds OS integrations like file open/save, PDF export, printing, and file associations.

## Use cases
- open hwp files on mac
- edit hwpx documents on linux
- convert hwp to pdf
- free alternative to hangul word processor
- view korean hwp documents on windows
- print hwp files

## When to choose
- you need to open, edit, or print HWP/HWPX documents without proprietary Hangul software
- you want to export HWP documents to PDF
- you need a cross-platform HWP viewer with file association support

## When to avoid
- you need full fidelity with advanced Hangul features like complex forms or macros
- you need a signed Windows build (it may trigger SmartScreen warnings)
- you rely on unstable Wayland/IME environments on Linux where AppImage may be flaky
