TODO

🕛 Planned 🚧 WIP

Already Reverse Engineered/Don't need RE but need implementation

• Text Underline Support 🕛
• Text Color Support 🕛
• Text Highlight(with colors) Support 🕛
• Dynamic browser paths(removing hardcoded browser cookie path) 🚧

Need reverse engineering & Implementation

• Syncing with Google Docs backend (Saving & Realtime Collaboration)(Roadblock is on Google's cookie authentication) 🚧

Features

• Authenticating with Google's servers using cookie files within a already logged in browser (Currently only Firefox and Firefox based browsers like Zen work)
• Fetching the contents of a document stored in Google's proprietary format(Kix)
• Render the contents of a document using Avalonia
  • Bold Text
  • Italics
  • Tables
• Typing & Moving the Cursor (No saving yet)

Known Issues

• Zen "works" but sometimes decides it doesnt want to work(very unreliable)(I have 0 clue why this happens)

AI Disclaimer

I use Github Copilot to write the odd snippet or to bounce ideas off of (large % of commit messages are AI Generated), but 95% of code is human written
