FWIW, totally agreed with @MayeulC's comment (to the folks who might be willing to pay for this, the content is too damn important to risk platform lock-in. For this service to even get consideration, I would imagine that everything must be cleanly exportable, such that one needs only pay for continued use of the service).
That said, where I would seek a tool that really adds value is auto-converting notes (text and math interspersed) into LaTeX, so that (as a value add) it can also be intelligently searched (coupled with an indexing+search solution). I think many academics/knowledge-workers might be open to paying for such a service.
Bonus if you can work well off just smartphone photographs of pages.
- nicodjimenez 7y agoThe content generated from Mathpix Snip can be pasted into any Latex compatible editor, so that avoids the lock-in you sometimes get with proprietary WYSIWYG editors. Plus as I mentioned we'll be open sourcing our rendering engine soon. Thanks for the suggestion about adding search capabilities, we're thinking about this. If you curious about it, I would suggest to just sign up and try it. If you spend a lot of time typing up Latex it's definitely worth having, especially for matrices / aligned equations.
