Muboard: Mathematics Chalkboard with LaTeX and Markdown Support\ (9 comments)

Thanks! I am aware of LyX and I did try it earlier but I did not quite like its ergonomics. I guess I prefer non-WYSIWYG tools more than the WYSIWYG ones. Another thing I wanted from my tool is that after a book club meeting is over, I should be able to share the same board in a distributable format (a simple HTML that self-renders it as Muboard), so that the participants can later refer to the same snippets that we went through during the meeting.

I have explained some of the reasons behind writing this tool here: https://github.com/susam/muboard#why (see section "Why?").

Here are a few examples of what the distributable board files look like: https://antmeet.github.io/boards/ .

Hey, very useful. Thanks! Similar to ic() for python, but with the nice ability to be used inline.

Icecream is great for this. Just calling ic(foo) gives you the same thing on stderr.

I get around this by using loguru (a wrapper around python's logger), so I get information like the calling function and line number with my debugging statements. I don't use it these days (and actually built something extremely similar around the same time), but icecream is another alternative that facilitates debugging-by-print

Most of the time I simply use icecream (a much better version of print()), and sometimes, I use pudb (a visual debugger) for tougher/trickier bugs.

We also have ice cream

I found icecream in a post on this subreddit and still use it as an alternative to print for debugging.

In the future using something like icecream might be interesting as well.
