Really needs Mathjax/Katex support otherwise the math formulas become very hard to read. Adds mental load just to parse the math text and make sense of it. Take a look at any of the questions and answers at https://math.stackexchange.com/ to see how it should really be done.

That's a good point. We've been working on the integration of KaTeX to our software.

I'm also a StackExchange user like you and love their mission. However, our main mission in the Study Hab project is answering homework questions mostly like Chegg, but for free.

What’s the difference between this and something like Stack Exchange or Quora? It seems pretty similar in both scope and execution.

I think it's oriented towards simpler questions, “solve my homework for me” type.

https://math.stackexchange.com/ might be most relevant for more serious questions (and https://mathoverflow.net/ for research level discussion).

Yes, the main mission of this project is what notpushkin said. StackExchange or Quora not our main competitors.

I'm wondering how you'd get people to solve all the different problems though, given they are not interesting and the askers aren't paying for them.

Seeing LaTeX there would be great for formulas.

Thanks for your valuable feedback. We'll integrate KaTeX feature into our software as soon as possible.

I'd say this needs a "Show HN" in the title.
