I built my own personal Google Docs clone to use as the editor for my blog
I used to work on the Google Docs team, so I basically did an 8-hour Q/A with Sol spanning like 400 questions. Did my best to reach back 10 years into my memories to see how things were implemented, and discussing architecture and tradeoffs. Then went through 5 ChatGPT resets implementing it on Astra to get a feel for the model.
I have a long way to go. But I'm writing my first post on it this week, and then I'll do a writeup of the editor project.
The only thing I would open source is the spec file from the Q/A so people can implement it if they'd like.
I find it extremely unlikely that I'd be able to sell it since its two main competitors are (1) literally free to use and has been polished for 16 years, and (2) a best-in-class native application that has been the lingua franca of business writing for over 40 years
