Word (.docx) documents as sites, via docx-preview
A site whose path is a local .docx renders as pages in the kiosk instead of Chromium offering a download. kiosk-app/docview.js maps the file URL to docview.html (alongside slideshow.js, through main.js's new resolveLocalSite) and pushes the file's bytes into the page from the main process; the page renders them with docx-preview + jszip, both pure-JS npm dependencies of kiosk-app (so online installs, Advanced -> Upgrade and the offline bundle all pick them up - no LibreOffice). - Scaled to the screen width (capped at 160%), scrolls normally. - Re-checked every minute; a changed file re-renders from the top. - Word's Symbol/Wingdings private-use bullet glyphs (U+F0B7 etc.), which render blank without Microsoft fonts, are mapped to Unicode (•, ▪, ...). - Missing/unreadable/oversized (>50 MB) files and a missing library show a message instead of a blank page. .doc/.odt aren't supported. Tested with the real main.js on Electron 44.5.1 under Xvfb + Openbox: heading, coloured bold run, image, bordered table, bullets and a page break rendered; wheel scrolling works; replacing the file while running re-rendered the new document within the refresh. Offline bundle rebuilt and contains docx-preview and jszip. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Cjz8a58eB5P9sUweqd3NHm
