Could you build this?
Partial Wrapping an existing editor framework like ProseMirror or Tiptap with adapters is doable, but high-fidelity Word paste, block-level diffing, and typography fixes are hard to get right.
What it would actually take: Build on a mature editor core such as ProseMirror or Lexical, then add a document schema, a custom clipboard parser for Word HTML (mso styles, lists, tables), and a block-level diff engine over the document tree. Six framework adapters are mostly packaging work. The difficult parts are handling the long tail of Word and PDF paste edge cases and making diffs stable under concurrent edits, which takes experienced editor-engineering time.
