Hi HN, I implemented your feedback:latex.to is an Overleaf alternative that now runs a full Tex Live distribution in the browser.This is done via CheerpX (JIT wasm engine) running a 32bit alpine image with TeX Live.Things I previously tried: - originally this project started with just KaTeX for LaTeX to image - v86 wasm engine: Too slow (at least 10 times slower than CheerpX) - various TeX Live...

I was recently looking for a Markdown editor for one of my projects. It was important to me that any editor can load / export Markdown, so that I can change the editor later without having to change any data in the database.I found it difficult to keep track of all the parameters (math support, is the editor under active development etc.).Hence I made this website to quickly compare editors....

I've just added the links to both projects in the info modal.
I will look into adding HTML and MathML exports in the next version.
The "Share text" functionality of the website uses KaTeX's MathML feature as an intermediate step.
KaTeX does not support all LaTeX features but initializes very quickly.
LaTeX via WebAssembly supports more features but might need longer to initialize.
There's an existing WebAssembly project: https://www.swiftlatex.com
Image generation: https://github.com/bubkoo/html-to-image
I've made a website to easily share a LaTeX math formula.- The image is created in the browser (i.e. the LaTeX is not send to a server for rendering)- Native share dialog (share via WhatsApp etc.)- Extra keyboard buttons for symbols like "$" or "\" on mobile- Share via png or unicodeDemo video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fGuTns5Nt9QPlease let me know any feedback on how to improve the website.
