Tools to Draw Diagrams programmatically
Take a look at TikZiT, which is a FOSS GUI for creating tikz files and also turning them into image files. I found it really useful for learning TikZ. Note that you don't need TikZiT to generate images, it's just an example of how it's done.

My Mathematics PhD research workflow: LaTeX notes and instant pdf referencing
The best way to TikZ is to copy-paste from previous figures you've created.
The second best is to look for a similar figure on TeXample https://texample.net/tikz/examples/ or stack overflow https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/tikz-pgf
The third best option is to use squared paper to draw by hand, then transfer hand-drawn stuff into TikZ code. It's slow as hell, but works well if you build up a collection of components you can copy-paste into other figs later.
There are also some GUI tools you could try: https://www.mathcha.io/ https://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/cheunen/freetikz/freetikz.htm... https://tikzit.github.io/ etc. (more links in this thread https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/84890/does-there-exi... )

Draw a square frustum in perspective?
Its much much faster than writing the code, and the output is very clean. You can follow the instructions from the link. takes less than 30 min to set up and less than an hour to get comfortable with it. Its well worth the effort. I have used a configuration similar to the author's config from this page. And my work has been way faster this way.

Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
Sioyek: a PDF viewer optimized for reading research papers and textbooks. https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek
It has a lot of niche features, but my favorite is the ability to preview or jump to references even when they are not linked in the PDF file.

SumatraPDF Reader
I implore all developers of PDF readers to implement sioyek's overview feature[0]. When you hover on a cross-referenced entry, it opens a little preview window with the contents of the reference. It is an absolute game-changer for reading textbooks and technical papers; I cannot overstate its utility.

- Vimtex: sioyek is not executable. Any idea how to solve this. I'm on wsl2 Ubuntu.

Sioyek PDF Viewer on Asahi Linux
Has anyone been able to run the sioyek PDF viewer (https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek) on Asahi? I've tinkered around a little, but the max I've gotten to is a black window with the executable complaining about an inability to compile certain shaders. Would this be due to the current OpenGL in mesa-asahi-edge (and thus can't be solved until we get more recent OpenGL version support) or is there some way to finagle around this?

PDF Viewer that Compiles LaTeX Notes?
Maybe chat to the dev of https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek about adding this as a feature. It's probably the closest pdf viewer I can think of that might do something like this in the future.
