Shortcut Help

Behold the keyboard shortcuts!

As per popular request, we’ve made a shortcuts panel that will show all the shortcuts. Any new shortcut we add in the future will also appear in the panel.

P.S. We did not forget the dark theme!

LaTeX support

Hey friends!

Announcing our first feature since we launched: LaTeX support!

To use this feature, you just need to put your equations between two sets of $$ like this:

$$\frac{10}{20}$$

It will then be rendered once the cursor leave the item.

We spent a few weeks working and testing this feature. So far, the hardest challenge is to find the right timing to show or hide the rendered LaTeX. A great shout out to Shida for figuring out a way to cleanly swap between the plain text version and the rendered LaTeX.

Finally , we must thank the folks at Khan Academy for building the awesome KaTeX, which is powering our LaTeX rendering. It is licensed under the MIT License. A list of supported LaTeX commands can be found at https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX/wiki/Function-Support-in-KaTeX

Cheers!
