I will be sharing this with my students.<p>A few comments are below. My motivation behind the comments is based on how students who are new to LaTeX tend to misuse or not fully recognize the full power of LaTeX. I realize that this may not be the target audience of your project and so if any of my comments are not appropriate, please disregard them.<p>* Mention that \( .. \) is the same as $...$ and \[ ... \] is the same as $$...$$ and that each will slightly alter the appearance of limits, integrals, and sums. TO put it another way, make clear the difference between display math vs. inline math.<p>* Rename Brackets "Stretchy brackets"? (Presently you have \left( x \right) which, to a new user is no different than simply writing (x).)<p>* Powers and Indices should mention that x_{...} is only required if more than one character is being used as a sub/superscript.<p>* Under matrices, there is no need for the left and right delimters. There are three commonly used environments: bmatrix, pmatrix, and vmatrix for matrices enclosed by brackets, parenthesis and vertical bars. More types are listed here: <a href="http://www.sascha-frank.com/Faq/matrices.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sascha-frank.com/Faq/matrices.html</a><p>* The inclusion of an aligned equations template is wonderful.<p>* The table template would be better if it followed the style guides suggested here: <a href="http://tug.org/pracjourn/2007-1/mori/" rel="nofollow">http://tug.org/pracjourn/2007-1/mori/</a><p>* Double and triple integrals without bounds can be written as \iint and \iiint respectively. (no need for a series of \! between individual \int).<p>* It would be nice to toggle the collapse/expansion of a menu by clicking it. Presently clicking it allows me to expand and the only way to collapse is to click on another.<p>* Throw \LaTeX\ in there somewhere. It's not necessary, but would be nice to have.<p>Thank you for creating this, I am sure it will be very helpful for my students!
This is very cool! I could have really used this during my time at university. :)<p>How about as a next step adding revisions to formulas and making them commentable, working sort of like gists?
Theres already one: <a href="http://mathbin.net" rel="nofollow">http://mathbin.net</a> ...

As I believe you target this to mathematicians mainly, I would suggest putting some more sophisticated (a mathematics "milestone") equation as an example, instead of simple quadratic equation.
This is pretty cool! I think the usability is better than mathbin, and I like the list of easily findable/clickable examples. Could even be useful for learning math formatting with LaTeX.
Nice job! I like it, and this is a lot easier then sharing screenshots or raw TeX :-P.<p>Also make sure you sanitize user input, you have a XSS issue.<p><a href="https://texpaste.herokuapp.com/n/bj1jknil" rel="nofollow">https://texpaste.herokuapp.com/n/bj1jknil</a>
This is really cool, I've learned a lot of latex in ~30 mins thanks to this.<p>I'm learning latex as part of a Numeric Methods course and will be sharing this with my fellow students<p>It would be great to have some feedback-app-thing integrated, I'll love to report issues, but I think that if it is in page would be better than going to some mail client or something. Maybe this could help: <a href="https://www.uservoice.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.uservoice.com/</a> (I like it)
Great work! This will make more people start to see the beauty of LaTeX.
As I suppose the target users of this project are those who like WYSIWYG approach, they may not want to replace the default element in the text field one by one.
Is it possible to prompt the user in request for values before passing it to the textfield? Or let the user create their own default values after logged in?
This doesn't load for me at the moment, so I can't compare, but I also made something similar a few months ago in node.js: <a href="http://texbin.bcuccioli.com" rel="nofollow">http://texbin.bcuccioli.com</a>
Very nice. I always wished there was a nice way to write natural looking math via IRC--that was still readable in text form--with some kind of whiteboard looking interface for DCC chats that looked pretty.
An older alternative that does not rely on MathJax (produces png images) is QuickLatex:<p><a href="http://www.quicklatex.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.quicklatex.com/</a><p>It even supports latex packages (e.g. tikz).
One equals two - I stump high school teachers and college professors on this one:<p><a href="http://texpaste.herokuapp.com/n/c0iohnf5" rel="nofollow">http://texpaste.herokuapp.com/n/c0iohnf5</a>
