xenops VS exhibitor

For some really nice LaTeX previews whilst writing, I would recommend Xenops. It will display pretty much all LaTeX equations, environments, tables, figures etc for your whilst you are writing. I use it all the time and love it.https://github.com/dandavison/xenops

I was studying maths as a hobby and made myself a LaTeX editing environment in Emacs with inline rendering of mathematical content: https://github.com/dandavison/xenops

A handful of other people use it I think but I made it for myself and don't have time to maintain it when I'm not studying maths.

just use https://github.com/dandavison/xenops

Hi, I really like this package for emacs that allows to preview latex and images directly in the document (not in an extra window): https://github.com/dandavison/xenops.

im surprised noone has mentioned https://github.com/dandavison/xenops which does exactly what you're looking for

Mathematical LaTeX editing in Emacs with automatic inline rendering of math, tables, and TiKZ diagrams.

It's hard to imagine this getting popular because (a) it's Emacs, (b) LaTeX is a pain and Overleaf is pretty nice, (c) I think it would require the Auctex team to want to adopt my implementation, and combine their expertise and code to parse LaTeX math delimiters as reliably as auctex does, (d) I only use and develop Xenops when I'm studying maths, which is not at all now I have a real job again. But Xenops is nice to use.

Plug: I recently created a new LaTeX editing environment for Emacs with automatic inline rendering of math, TikZ diagrams, and tables:

https://github.com/dandavison/xenops

It creates plain LaTeX files that can be shared with non-Emacs users, but also works with org-mode. Math preview images are SVG by default and are crisp on high res / retina screens.

Xenops is a nice package for editing LaTeX and it allows integration with computer algebra systems. I looked at the code and it seems to allow me to use wolframscript (which I think is the free version of the wolfram engine) but whenever I try to run the code in the example, it returns the error no org-babel-execute function for mathematica. When I put (requireob-mathematica)` into the init.el, it says there is no such file or directory. How can I integrate this free version of the wolfram engine?

Plug: If you're an Emacs user, I've written an emacs LaTeX editing environment with automatic live rendering of LaTeX math, tables, and TikZ images. The images are rendered asynchronously using emacs-aio.

TL;DR: A React front-end component workshop, a simple version of Storybook.

So around 5 months ago, I needed a tool to preview front-end (React) components whilst I create them for a personal project of mine. There were two options: Storybook or Ladle.

Storybook is the tool everybody knows. I've used it before quite a lot. It's very big, full-fat, supports loads of use-cases, etc.

Ladle comes out of Uber. It's very small, lean, and doesn't support that much. After trying it out for a while, it just gives me a feeling like it's a 20% project to learn some new tech.

So I realised that I wanted something kind of in the middle. Something that's a bit more customizable than Ladle, but something much simpler and less intrusive than Storybook.

This led me to create Exhibitor (https://github.com/samhuk/exhibitor) (https://demo.exhibitor.dev).

I worked on it on-and-off for a couple months, and it ended up being something that I'm quite proud of. It's not perfect, and supports only a fraction of what Storybook does, however for a tool made by 1 engineer vs the 20+ for Storybook, I'm quite happy about it!

Exhibitor, a snappy & delightful React component workshop, is GA. My aim is for Exhibitor to be an extremely fast, easy to use, and delightful tool for creating front-end component libraries.

It's been around 2 months since my last mention and quite a tonne has changed.

Looks interesting. Coincidentally, I've just completed the bulk of work on a distributed Websocket network system to synchronize certain bits of state between multiple clients for my own kind of Storybook tool [0]. How interesting!

This kind of tool is exactly what I would have needed, instead of the approach I've taken which is a bit kludgy, grass-roots, novice-like, etc.

Good work :)

I was a bit deflated when my submission about https://github.com/samhuk/exhibitor fell through the HN floor-boards.

Think Storybook but simpler, faster, better Typescript support, and uses esbuild by default.

...Is the aim. I'm the sole lead dev working on it at the moment up against the ~10-20 strong team who built most of Storybook, so it's a long road ahead, but it's growing into something I'm quite proud of and happy about.
