The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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.

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.

Templates + Scripts for University Students
Although I don't take live notes myself, I have invested a fair bit of time developing my own library of TeX snippets that have really reduced the time it takes me to type out mathematical expressions. I found early on that the general pattern of tabbing through the ${1}, ${2}, ... snippet fields that I see a fair bit of in your snippets really didn't work for me. It slowed me down by restricting my ability to make quick leaps between sections of my files when my lecturers made mistakes on the board, which is why all of my snippets that aren't just quick symbol substitutions are basically just macros following a condensed syntax that doesn't require me to reach over to type \ or {/}. Maybe this is something you should think about for your uses.
