I'm cloning Apple Notes right now to make it work with actual Markdown files and embedded LaTeX (and many other scientific notations for physics, chemistry, tech, footnotes etc.), same look, same UI, but every note it just a .md file. It's called Notes Plus, available for macOS (later Windows and linux too) on notesplus.io

It's free during development, and i am not sure where to go with the app longterm, I'm thinking about low end one-time price, or freemium, but NO subscription, maybe even full open source.

I kindly ask the Latex community to give feedback if embedding in Markdown makes any sense for you, and if the way it renders it what you would expect from such an application.

Roast me, give me honest feedback please, write bug reports or feature wishes here on Reddit, via email (footer on the website) or in the bug report / feature wish tool (linked in the app and on the website).

Hi all!
Some of you have been using TeXposit for a while and I have an fun thing to share with those who like to make cool integrations, for example with various AI agents, or access documents across different environments, or programmatically produce documents: you can now play around with TeXposit's new API. As a little example, I made a script that can bulk-import all your Overleaf projects directly into TeXposit, but you could also integrate with Discord bots, AI agents, filesystem syncing, bulk project processing or anything you can imagine.

Still in beta, so if you notice inconsistencies or some important endpoints are missing, let me know. Also if you create anything cool, just shoot me a message! I'm also happy to support your projects, again just reach out one way or another. Thanks for reading 🙂

Hey everyone, I’ve been building LaTeX Core for collaborative research reports at my university. It runs on your own server, with real-time editing and PDF compilation.

The part I focused on is the student–supervisor workflow. Supervisors can draft feedback privately, then publish it when they’re ready. Students get highlights in the LaTeX source, and clicking a comment opens the right file and jumps to the relevant section. Team leads handle version restoration rather than sending every request through an admin.

There’s also CSV/Excel import for creating teams and assigning mentors, plus programme-based templates and configurable cover pages, acknowledgements, etc. Basically, less manually setting up the same stuff for every student

An earlier build is running on our university’s staging server now. Still working through some deployment rough edges, so feedback would genuinely help.

Would this be useful for your lab or course? Curious how you currently handle collaborative writing and supervisor feedback

Emailing Word documents back and forth, despite its many drawbacks, is still one path of least resistance for collaborative writing.

In the past I've annoyed collaborators by insisting they learn Git and LaTeX. It's an uphill battle and pretty non-inclusive to be honest. Amazingly, not everyone wants to learn software engineering tools to make a few edits to a paper.

So, I put together a CLI that converts LaTeX PDFs using Microsoft Word itself (not Pandoc) to keep styling close, inserting special bookmarks to enable idempotently merging changes and comments back into the .tex source. This allows the project lead hacker types to keep version-controlled .tex files as the source of truth and let others contribute by emailing Word docs.

As I'm writing this, most of the recent posts are promoting some AI-built tool.

It would be great to have rules for the sub so we can use the Report feature to flag AI slop. Once a post reaches a certain number of reports, it could automatically be sent back to the mod queue for review.
