New Show Hacker News story: latest news

Show HN: I built a website to create images from LaTex

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
