Broke solo dev building the first IDE for Mathematics
Hello everyone!
I am a recent graduate in mathematics and computer science. I have always had a passion for making math more accessible for everyone and it's lead to me building mathlean.com
This isn't my first try at building a product, but I think it's the most promising, would love feedback of any kind.
There's a bunch of hidden features/shortcuts and I'm looking to add a tutorial and fix bugs before officially launching.
(for example you can do inline latex by pressing $, or you can adjust matrix sizes with ctrl+arrow key)
I want to dedicate everything to this project, but the pressure to just focus on career is strong. So I'm hoping the feedback I get from here can help me decide how much I should focus on this.
I also like startups/products in general and I'm always happy to give feedback to you all's products. I want to be more involved in the community here.
I'm also a gamer, and I think it influences my development philosophy a lot. I want software to feel fun to use and UX is really important for me. If I can make doing math online feel better than anything else, then I've succeeded at my mission. Hope that whether you do math or not you can enjoy this product.
Looking forward to talking to you all!

This looks like a fantastic way to make math more fun and approachable! The emphasis on UX and those hidden shortcuts is a great touch. I'm building The Sponge, an AI-powered flashcard tool for turning knowledge into something that actually sticks. If you're up for it, I'm launching on PH soon... would appreciate a follow (See "PRODUCT HUNT LAUNCH" Link in my profile)
