SwiftLaTeX VS Blazor.SVGEditor

There is a project for a replacement, called SwiftLaTeX, an online-based WYSIWYG editor for LaTeX documents, but the development is slow.

The screencast look good. For parallel/prior work in this sort of "live update" of the typeset document (and to learn from their experiences), you may also want to look at:

• SwiftLaTeX (https://github.com/SwiftLaTeX/SwiftLaTeX / https://www.swiftlatex.com/ — the cool demo that used to be on their site seems to be gone, but see HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21710105)

• BaKoMa TeX (http://www.bakoma-tex.com/) — its eponymous author Basil K. Malyshev passed away recently, but the product and page still exists for now

• VorTeX (see Pehong Chen's PhD thesis from 1988).

Also, that is not true. Check out my Blazor SVG Editor https://github.com/KristofferStrube/Blazor.SVGEditor or my Blazor real-time drawing demo https://github.com/KristofferStrube/DistributedDrawing

I use it in this application: https://github.com/KristofferStrube/Blazor.SVGEditor I only use Blazor to update my UI with minimal JS to get bounding boxes for some elements so for me, this was a huge performance increase.

Are you going to use that this is specifically a canvas? If not then I would recommend to look at HTML SVG elements where you wouldn't even need to use JS Interop. This is an example that works with SVG Elements to achieve similar results as the ones you describe with being able to drag and use figures. https://github.com/KristofferStrube/Blazor.SVGEditor

Why would you need SkiaSharp for that? Did you think for rendering purposes? I created something that is somewhat related using Anglesharp to read SVG: https://github.com/KristofferStrube/Blazor.SVGEditor If you think to use SkiaSharp for rendering some SVG to an image then that would *probably* not be possible as that part is *probably* dependant on System.Drawing.Common
