Slack LaTeX

I have had a lot of trouble in the past with Lambda cold starts timing out Slack slash command requests, so you may actually be better off without it.

Given the fairly stateless nature of slack apps like this, what does mongodb give you that dynamodb doesn’t? Seems like you could fit into the free tier quite easily.

On my Safari 14.1.2 the hero image (demo) on the landing page does not show properly. The URL is <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;slacklatex.com&#x2F;static&#x2F;media&#x2F;demo_img.5ddca5f3.webp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;slacklatex.com&#x2F;static&#x2F;media&#x2F;demo_img.5ddca5f3.webp</a> and I assume the format is a bit too esoteric.

Interesting article. How much requests can you support for 20&#x2F;month before losing money with this stack?<p>Also, I am curious though, what does his partner do usually if not frontend stuff? Unusual to go into business with a frontend engineer who then does 0 frontend work, no?

this is a great idea! i&#x27;m all for making math typesetting more accessible and useful!<p>i am wondering why they use a headless to render from KaTeX though. Is there an advantage to doing that compared to, say, shelling out to xetex? You&#x27;d get better compatibility with potentially useful libraries like tikz that way (and potentially higher throughput&#x2F;lower costs), at the cost of investing some thought in sandboxing. Curious about the considerations behind that decision.

This is awesome, thanks for sharing. I&#x27;m currently building a Slack app myself and this is very useful information.
