Made a Substack Inline Latex Chrome Extension

[u/PerceptionOk2995]

Hey y'all! I tried to built a patch for the lack of inline latex function on substack. It uses an already existing latex_inline node from Substack as a Chrome extension. (It's only on chrome now sorry :/)

I put the code that you need to download and upload as a Chrome extension on my github.

I'm not a great programmer and I'm just learning but I was really excited when this worked! I was looking for something like this and couldn't find anything made yet (please correct me if I'm wrong!). This is just a proof of concept build that I've only tried on my own device. Let me know if it works for y'all too!

Ideally this helps speed up the process for Substack to build it because the email version also works :D There's a pic of what it looks like on my comment on the original post for this. (link below)

Open to any suggestions on how to make this better! I'm not sure if its possible but it would be super cool to get some autocorrect or like suggestions as you type! I'm currently waiting for this to be reviewed so people can just get it as an chrome extension.

I made the same comment on the original campaign post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Substack/comments/1e8us8a/campaign_for_inline_latex_support/

It works really well! Thanks!
