LaTeX

TikZ Editor lets you draw figures visually and outputs TikZ/LaTeX code, open source and on the web. The most-praised use isn't drawing from scratch — it's editing old TikZ without turning the source into generated soup.

Maker DominikPeters says it took 700M tokens since February via a ChatGPT subscription. A LaTeX user in the thread flagged the catch: every node lands at absolute coordinates, which is rarely how good TikZ is written.

0.15 adds multiple bibliographies in one document, automatic MathML in HTML export, an experimental bundle export, variable fonts and spot colors. For people generating PDFs programmatically, it's been saving real money.

The one recurring wish: a double-click desktop editor so non-developers can use a .typ file without setting up VSCode and plugins. And LLMs still struggle to write Typst, which complicates the otherwise slick Pandoc-to-Typst book pipelines.
