In case anyone is looking for an alternative - I've launched https://latex.to here on HN last year. Since then I've added the option to save formulas in your browser via IndexedDB.

I will design a proper favicon! I think I implemented the current placeholder according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/13416784

I could add a GPT based pdf to latex functionality in the future.

Thank you for your feedback.

I've just added the links to both projects in the info modal.

I will look into adding HTML and MathML exports in the next version.

KaTeX has a build in MathML feature, but I haven't yet looked into it for rendering.

The "Share text" functionality of the website uses KaTeX's MathML feature as an intermediate step.

Thank you for your positive feedback.

KaTeX does not support all LaTeX features but initializes very quickly.

LaTeX via WebAssembly supports more features but might need longer to initialize.

There's an existing WebAssembly project: https://www.swiftlatex.com
