It should be possible to use LaTeX with a bookmarklet here on spacehey. For example:
$ \sum_{i=1}^n i = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} $
Now use the bookmarklet here to view it in mathematical notation!

LaTeX is literally the same tag notation as html that you have to fucking compile, created during a time when that was the only way to go, that some people still consider a good solution for some reason. Like imagine not seeing your changes in real time when writing a fucking document on a modern computer. With something literally called latex. Funniest shit ever.
Actual shitpost of a solution.

I think that's hyperbolic. Pretty much every alternative also has to be compiled or rendered, because mathematical typesetting is a huge pain! MathML has some browser support, but all-in-all it's not usable. My notes are already in TeX, mostly embedded in Emacs org files, so for now MathJax is the best way to share them. Ideally spacehey would support embedding MathJax, but it's a pretty niche need.

Idk man, the MS Office suite as much of a pain as it is seems to have including mathematical equations in documents handled pretty well. Certainly does the tuff in real time, meaning less time spent on error correction.

It would be cool to allow embedding MathJax natively, but it’s certainly a niche application.
