Stumped: Why does starting a line (in LaTeX) yield errors?
If anyone knows what might be going on, I would greatly appreciate the help. You can find my config here (working on the lua branch). Also happy to post bits a pieces.

VimTeX v2.6

What LaTeX editor would you suggest?
A good and relatively easy option is to use VS Code, but why not go in for the very best, especially if this is your livelihood? Here are the reasons I put together in in support of using NeoVim.

LaTeX for Students — my simple, pragmatic quickstart video
Hey nice work! This is a bit of a different direction, but perhaps appealing to a similar audience of academics looking to learn how to use some of the digital power-tools of our age. Although I don't spend any time explaining how to write in LaTeX or Markdown, I've put together a bunch of resources describing how to install and customise my configuration of NeoVim for writing LaTeX and Markdown, etc. Anyhow, hope this is of interest.

Is there an online markdown editor that syncs and is cross platform?
I use Git to push and pull changes to free GitHub repositories. You can do this from multiple machines, as well as inviting multiple collaborators. I do all of this inside Vim which I also use to write in Markdown and LaTeX to keep things streamlined, but you could use LazyGit in the terminal plus whatever program you are writing Markdown in, hopping between the two. I provide details for how this goes here. You can find my config here and details using Pandoc to convert between file formats here.

Help me pick a Markdown writing app?
No way! Who knows where that project will go, and you're stuck with whatever they give you. It's all about future proof free and open source software. Plus it's better anyways to develop your own workflow, with only the features that you want inside of [Vim]{https://github.com/benbrastmckie/.config}, and a whole ecosystem of plugins to choose from. Not to mention the power of modal editing, and so much more.

Why Vim?
I use Vim for writing LaTeX, so not super standard, but here are the resources I've amassed.

LaTex Mac getting started help
Vim definitely requires some customisation to feel like a comfy IDE for LaTeX, which is just what I've tried to put together here. Hope this helps!

Templates + Scripts for University Students
As for templates, you can find what I make use of in my config here. I've adapted them from various other people. Not sure how useful these will be to you. The truth is, there are loads of templates out there just a google search away. Although it could be nice to dump them all in a single location with standard formatting, etc., in practice, it's not too difficult to poke around a bit until one finds a template that works for them, adapting it from there. But feel free to make use of what I've assembled however you like.

I love you all
Maybe this is too much all at once, but if you love writing LaTeX, you may also love working in Vim to write LaTeX. Here is a video channel devoted to promoting the use of both of these tools together for academic writing, and here is a post describing my motivations a bit. You can find more resources on my repo.

Trouble with turning vue-ionic project to PWA
It usually does in a new project, but I don't think it does for an existing project. Here's an example of what it would look like. https://github.com/writewithocto/octo/blob/v0.18.0/src/main.js#L13

Text Processor PWA?
A little late to the party, but I maintain https://octo.app. It's open source at https://github.com/writewithocto/octo too.

Is there an online markdown editor that syncs and is cross platform?
I'm the developer of octo.app. It's a progressive web app, so you can either install it to your local device (if supported) or just use it through the web browser. It works offline (even in the browser), and you can sign up (for free) with Google, Twitter, or GitHub to sync documents across devices.

A Guide to Customizing the Zsh Shell Prompt
I hope this article helped shed some light on the shell prompt syntax. It was a lot of fun to write while experimenting with my own prompt (which you can see at the top of this page). As a final note, I would love to share octo - a hackable, offline-first markdown editor for notes, code snippets, and writing that runs entirely in-browser. It's free and open source, and working on it gives me a lot of ideas and inspiration for the articles I write. Thank you, and happy coding. ✌️
