I had the same feeling for a different reason: I don't think this reduces friction enough compared to sharing LaTeX files (on github or overleaf), which we can already do. So I don't think this will usher in a new era.

I realise this could very well become the next "dropbox comment" - and I'll be happy to be proven wrong.

It would be cool if they would just render entire latex manuscripts that are part of the repo. It sort of sucks that you need to duplicate what you wrote a paper submission into markdown to get github to render it.

They do this for org mode files, but that's a much simpler format than LaTeX.
