The deeper I got, the more I realized really supporting the entire LaTeX toolchain in WASM would mean simulating an entire linux distribution :( We wanted to support Beamer, LuaLaTeX, mobile (wasn't working with WASM because of resource limits), etc.

We had been building literally the same thing for the last 8 months along with a great browsing environment over arxiv -- might just have to sunset it

Any plans of having typst integrated anytime soon?

  • I'm not against typst. I think it's integration would be a lot easier and more straightforward I just don't know if it's really that popular yet in academia.
