How about math formula support?

This is a big one for me. I've been looking for a minimalistic blogging tool that has good math support for a while now and have yet to find anything. If able has good latex support in the future I'd definitely start using it.

Yes, we want to support this too and will be looking into it.

Maybe blocks that can render LaTeX?

+1 I would recommend using KaTeX for this. Another thing would be to embed CodeMirror within ProseMirror (https://prosemirror.net/examples/codemirror/) instead of just using monospace font. The additional benefit of that is free syntax-highlighting.

I've played with ProseMirror and math support before, so this is what it about looks like. [1] https://imgur.com/a/rV2AATD
