1. You can give credit where it is due - on the website, to katex and the HTML-to-image renderer library/engine. 2. You could offer any of the three possible outputs: Raster image, HTML, MathML - for exporting/sharing/downloading.

1. Add tooltips to the top icons 2. Support SVG output

Shorts link didn't work for me, here is the normal player link

I'm not to familiar with LaTeX so I much prefer a WYSIWYG editor. I mainly use things like wolframalpha's editor to really get a good representation of what I need.
I know something like that might be out of scope for something like this, but you could potentially do preprogrammed buttons like having a sqrt button insert "\sqrt{}" to the cursor position.

For the other direction, there is https://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html :)

I was recently trying to solve a similar problem but on desktop platforms. I don't want to depend on LaTeX, but I'd like to be able to generate equation images inside a C++ desktop application. I tried to make MathJax run via QuickJS and extract the SVG for rasterization. But I couldn't make MathJax run with QuickJS.

Cool project! I like the idea of easily sharing LaTeX formulas. It's impressive how smooth it works right in the browser.
I've always thought compiling LaTeX in WebAssembly would be a tough nut to crack, so I was curious if that's what you'd done here. Turns out you're using KaTeX.
Have you considered any WebAssembly approaches?

I’d be very interested in the opposite! Lots of scanned or legacy images that would be nice to convert to LaTeX, or to create a robust PDF ingestion pipeline.

There's a similar feature on AoPS:

Have you considered translating formulae to MathML for rendering?

How does it work? Are you shipping a wasm latex distribution?

It feels like I am seeing more and more websites lately that have a favicon that is deliberately broken, and I'm not sure why this appears to be a thing that is somehow gaining traction.
Kroki [1] supports TikZ and by extension: PGF [2] and LaTeX. It supports SVG, PDF, JPEG, and PNG outputs. Rendering is done on the server. URLs can be quite long since the source is embedded in the URL but you can use a URL shortener [3].
