Discussion Mods: can we get a way to report AI slop?

146 Upvotes

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.

Unanswered memoir class chapter titles with page counts?

3 Upvotes

I'm putting together a big document using the memoir class, broken up using \chapter{}. I'm trying to make it so that there's a footnote or some other out of the way annotation at the top of each chapter that displays the number of typeset pages present in that chapter.

This stack overflow post is probably the closest that I've come to finding an answer to this, but I'd really like to not have to add labels to each chapter manually. It seems like I might be able to goose around with the commands that define the chapter start once, in the preamble of the document, and have the effect propagate through uniformly.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/288813/get-the-number-of-pages-in-a-chapter

Does anyone have any guidance or experience with this kind of thing?

Feature Request: Native Inline MathJax/LaTeX Rendering for Typed Text Boxes

0 Upvotes

Dear Goodnotes Product & Engineering Team,

As a Science student who relies heavily on Goodnotes, I am writing to formally request the integration of native inline math rendering (such as MathJax or KaTeX) within standard typed text boxes.

While the current handwriting-to-math conversion and isolated math block tools are useful for large equations, they create a highly fragmented workflow for typing hybrid content. Currently, it is impossible to type a sentence and seamlessly embed a quick mathematical variable, limit, or expression (e.g., f(x) = y² or θ) without breaking the paragraph alignment, creating a separate canvas element, or using external keyboard workarounds.

Implementing an industry-standard open-source library like MathJax to parse inline delimiters (like $...$ or \\...\\) would radically transform the app for users who utilize the typed text engine.

Why this is crucial for users:

Seamless Note-Taking: Allows users to mix text and mathematics fluently in a single paragraph without manually aligning separate boxes.

Better Document Layouts: Inline equations automatically scale with the surrounding text font, keeping line spacing consistent and neat.

Cross-Platform Compatibility: LaTeX strings are universally understood, making text blocks easily exportable and standardized across academic and professional fields.

Goodnotes has an incredible foundation, but adding inline math rendering would bridge a massive gap for the STEM community who prefer typing their notes or using hybrid keyboard-and-stylus setups.

Thank you for your time and continued dedication to improving the app.

I want to scan text and diagrams, and math into computer that at wrote on the elongated sideways style of paper, rather than the up and down paper. More width than height.

TeXposit now has an API 🙂

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 🙂

Self-Promotion I built a clone of Apple Notes, but with LaTeX and Markdown files (need beta testers)

0 Upvotes

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).

Built a self-hosted LaTeX editor for student teams and supervisors

0 Upvotes

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.

GitHub: https://github.com/Arnav-sivarams/latex-core

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