  Isn't this a paid for app?
  • trostaft 4mo ago
    The upper tier features on the webapp are paid, but the local tools are all free. That includes local editor support. IIRC the compiler is apache 2.

    You against paying for things?
    • ifh-hn 4mo ago
      That's your takeaway from my question?
  • isatty 4mo ago
    Yeah idk about all the typst HN shilling. Latex works great and is as free as it can get.

      You can use Typst 100% for free, just like LaTeX. There's a CLI for compilation, there's an LSP, code formatter, etc. Complaining that the web app has a paid tier is like complaining that Overleaf is paid. As for why people shill Typst over LaTeX, it's just a better overall experience. Things that are annoying in LaTeX are easy in Typst. I've written plenty of LaTeX for academic papers and my Master's dissertation, but I'm now writing my PhD thesis in Typst. It's so much better. The only barrier to using it everywhere is that my colleagues still prefer to use Overleaf for collaboration, which forces me to use LaTeX for papers.

        Fellow Typst user for my PhD thesis, can concur.

  Beware it does not export to docx/libreoffice format. So not usable in the exact same situations. https://typst.app/docs/web-app/export-and-preview/ https://typst.app/docs/web-app/export-and-preview/
