Figma for font design with AI glyph generation and real-time collaboration built in.
Generate Agent can spit out a complete, compilable LaTeX paper (sections, abstract, citation scaffolding, placeholders for figures/tables) from one prompt and also returns a compiled PDF — that is an unusually concrete AI UX for research writing. It also promises TikZ generation and an inline PDF preview, which are genuinely useful. My caveat: automated citation/text generation risks hallucinations and the real value will depend on model provenance, reproducibility settings, and how well it integrates with existing citation workflows.
GUI wrapper around Claude CLI and Tectonic, but the auth passthrough is genuinely clever.
Yjs-powered Rust editor but Replit and GitHub Codespaces already do this better.
LaTeX preview for Python docstrings, but Markdown Preview and Quarto already handle this.
