Gotta say, having followed Taelin on this project since mid 2023, this was not the response I expected when this language first dropped.

It's interesting how cosmetics drive discussion, and how HN comments are weirdly divided in a very dismissive or skeptical camp and those acting incredulous and offended at the reaction of the former.

Perfect! I've been working on a general purpose Swiss army knife for technical note taking/ knowledge management/ sharing. This could very well be an add-on missing piece for heavier latex rendering and editing. Thank you!
Are you open to people repurposing this app as a plugin to larger apps like obsidian?
