Hey everyone, I was doing some tests with Gaussian Blur and the 2D Gaussian formula. While writing code for the formulas (I'm just trying to learn new things, that's all), I wanted to see LaTeX formulas in my IDE as images or in any convenient way. However, I couldn't find any proper method, such as writing LaTeX as a comment and seeing them as images, etc.
So, I started to create my 2-step project: a LaTeX-to-image website & plugin for my IDE. I've completed the first step of this project. I've created a website called https://pictotex.com/
I didn't return to this project due to things happening in my life, but today I just checked my CloudFlare account to see what is going on and I was surprised because I'm receiving 50-60 unique visitors daily. This is very "unique" for me.
I plan to add a few more features, like maybe creating a service to use "blang/latex" for better results.
I hope this website helps you, even in a small way.
I'd like to get your ideas & feedbacks.
Behind the scene is very simple:
NextJs, Supabase, Vercel
The correct format is just x^2 https://tex.pics/67a07589
Perhaps add like 5 samples to show some details.
It would be nice to see the formulas of the images. I guess most people don't care about the secret formulas. Perhaps add an opt-in option to share the LaTeX too.
Which packeges do you have? I tried \sout{hello} and it works, but I tried \cancel{hello} and it doesn't.
I also tried tikz, but I think TikZ is used outside formulas, so it does not apply.
