Simon Willison launches browser-based LaTeX renderer inspired by Tiny Little Office

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Simon Willison has developed a new tool that renders LaTeX directly in the browser, inspired by the bookmarkable URL structure of Paul Ford's Tiny Little Office web app. This tool, built with Claude Code (Opus 5.5 Extra), allows users to input LaTeX code via URL fragments, which are then rendered using libraries like Pako, MathJax, and DOMPurify. The application also includes an editor for direct input and toggling between source and rendered views, with built-in XSS protection. AI

IMPACT Enables direct, shareable rendering of LaTeX documents via URL fragments, potentially simplifying technical documentation and collaboration.

RANK_REASON This is a new tool developed by an individual, inspired by another tool, and built using an LLM. It does not represent a frontier release from a major AI lab, significant industry shift, or academic research paper.
