6. Automated website optimizer
You are on to something there. There is a lot that could be automated. This reminds me of Apple commercial, when the Mac came out in the 80s. It was making fun of IBM as being the "morse language" of the past, whereas the Mac and its GUI where the telephone.
7. LaTeX resume builder
Why would anyone want that? On HN there seems to be a community of LaTeX users, and I can't figure out why. Isn't that thing only used for writing Ph.D theses?
- frio 16y agoLaTeX is a fantastic tool for any word processing. Once you've got the hang of it, I'd be surprised if you didn't prefer it to any other publishing tool.
- henning 16y agoTeX and LaTeX were designed for mathematical and scientific publishing. So, homework assignments, technical memos, anything that has math or science in it, not just theses. They can be used for general typesetting stuff.
- pjscott 16y agoIts greatest virtue is that it makes writing math pretty easy. I would love to see more software support including LaTeX-formatted math in comments and blog posts and such.
- nzmsv 16y agoI use LaTeX for most word processing, because I find it gives me control over the right things, and automates the right ones at the same time.
- Quiark 16y agoAnd LaTeX makes your text look great thanks to its advanced typography (please note I'm not saying that it's superior to everything). EDIT: as for the idea, it seems useless to me. Resumes are usually structured, so there is no room for paragraph optimizations implemented in LaTeX. I think you can get a nice CV done using Word, Inkscape or HTML.
