Hey Product Hunt — I write papers in LaTeX and built the editor I kept wishing I had. Three things drove it: compile errors that tell you what to fix instead of quoting a raw log, BibTeX autocomplete that finds a reference by author or title across your whole .bib, and a set of submission-readiness checks that catch what a journal will bounce before you upload. If you don't already have MacTeX or TinyTeX installed, ModernTex notices on your first compile and offers a one-click TinyTeX install right in the editor, so that's not a separate setup step. There's a free 7-day trial with no account required, then it's $10 once with updates included. macOS 14+ only, Apple silicon and Intel. It's a week old, so the honest state of it is: it works, it has no track record yet, and I'd genuinely rather hear what's missing than what's nice. Fire away. — Ben
