openApp() launches chromium, firefox or webkit from playwright-core; the smoke and DOM runs pass in each. CI runs both per engine, WebKit on macOS for Safari's text shaping. build.target is set explicitly to the browsers the bundle promises. CLAUDE.md is back under its 120-line budget.
Powerful word processor — just one URL away.
Free · Open Source · Private by Design
EdenText is a web-based, powerful word processor for everything from quick notes to full-length books. No server, no account — processing runs locally and your documents never leave your computer. Just one URL away, or completely offline as a slim browser app — only ~1 MB1 .
Note
EdenText is young, in beta and actively developed — more features are on the way. It is tested — the full suite plus LibreOffice round-trip checks run on every commit — but expect occasional bugs, and keep backups of documents you care about. The browser copy also keeps the last three versions of the open document, and offers them if it ever fails to load one.
