Does this work on Firefox or Safari? You say “Firefox or Safari fall back to a virtual filesystem” but somehow I can’t get this fallback to work. When I click New Project I just get a reminder to use Chrome or Edge. Is there a button to press to trigger the fallback?
I never really got the hang of LaTeX but I've really enjoyed Typst the past few years and even made a few books with it. Have you ever tried that or have thought on it?
I copy-pasted a random LaTeX doc from many years ago (I made sure I wrote it before 2020 so it did not use any new features not in TeX Live 2020), and upon compilation I got the error
Font OT1/cmr/m/n/10.95=cmr10 at 10.95pt not loadable: Bad metric (TFM) file.
on line 13017. The document had only 200 lines so this must be from a package. It was really not clear where the error was coming from. I guessed that it was coming from \usepackage{microtype}, so I commented it out, but the same error persisted.
I decided to hard refresh the tab and this time I got a different error:

I'm on Safari, and it seems you can open your local LaTeX file to use the tool. It's an “Open file” button at the top.
Although I agree that it would be cool to have some hello-world example pre-opened.
Ooh. That worked. Thanks.
I love this use of wasm!

on line 39. Again it was unclear line 39 of which package.This is super cool. I wish there was something like this for ConTeXt too.
My project https://latex.to supports ConTeXt (plus all other TeX Live engines). Click + then New from showcase then ConTeXt to try it.
I wrote a Markdown -> ConTeXt -> PDF editor that may interest you.

Interesting. I usually use pandoc for converting my Markdown, which goes via LaTeX. Is there a specific reason you picked ConTeXt?
Anyone know if this includes TikZ?
Well done!
