other co-founder here:
1. Currently there isn't support, but not opposed if there is a need. 2. Also, there isn't a way to export (or self host) as of now.
Just some background - We originally built this out as a standalone desktop app (~4 years ago) and then re-worked it for the web around the same time. We were planning to eventually rewrite the desktop app for just that reason - to have the offline syncing and cleaner export UX.

If this had TeX I'd be interested immediately. There's no great way at the moment to mathematical notes, it's a big pain point.

Obsidian has LaTeX support out of the box. And there are some awesome plugins to make it even better, check out https://github.com/artisticat1/obsidian-latex-suite.

I didn't like Obsidian's TeX support very much. Primarily because it is very difficult to get macros working (especially across files). There are some plugins that try to do it but when I tried they didn't work very well. And anyway the features I'm interested in are sharing, collaborative editing, and having a good way to present things that are typed up.

Also my points. I would like one of these apps to actually show some love for technical (math) people.
So far, I find Obsidian to be the best for us.

I actually run an app that does support mathematical documentation. I initially created it for mathematical publishing but didnt see enough interest so marketed instead as a generic document publishing app.
Would love to get your take on it - https://relentless.so
1. Doesn't seem like there's support for latex-style math? (Or, at least couldn't find it in the documentation and putting an equation between $$ doesn't seem to work). Is this planned?
2. Is there a way to export your notes?
