Hi Typst community! :wave:

I’ve been working on typeset.live a web platform for creating and editing Typst documents in real time.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

  • What works well?
  • What could be improved?
  • Any features you’d like to see added?

Your feedback will really help me make the site better for everyone. Thanks in advance for checking it out!

Nice! Off the top of my head, after a few keystrokes in there:

  • I’d switch the Editor and About URLs: make the editor the landing page
  • This would be great as a playground if it saved the input in local storage
  • Is it open source? Personally I wouldn’t be particularly interested in using a product that is a direct competitor to Typst’s own web app, but if I wanted to make e.g. a Typst-native forum software, knowing that there is an open source proof of concept for such an editor would be great.
  • the usual niceties: syntax highlighting, error messages, auto completion, …

Ohh nice, I stumbled across this page a few days ago. For quickly noting down a few things it is perfect.
A way to check if the document is still compiling was the first thing I noticed missing. For longer documents I think error messages or an error indicator are really needed.
Package support would be nice.

I was able to draw with CeTZ, so maybe that was a recent addition?

True it works :O. I was quickly trying it out on mobile, so I probably made some mistake. Thanks for the correction.

Thank you all for your feedback! I’ll continue working on the website to make it better, especially improving the UI.

The Editor will remain free to use, with no login required — ever.
Initially, I hadn’t planned to make it open source, since I’m living in a difficult economic situation and had hoped the project might provide some financial support.

However, out of respect for the wonderful Typst community, I’ve made it publicly available on GitHub.

For those interested, everything runs entirely on the front end using typst.ts.
