Quickly lookup LaTeX notation.

September 15, 2019 Launched on Hacker News and Product Hunt

I had a successful launch on PH and Hacker News, bringing in over 6,000 visitors to LaTeX search.

I made it to #7 on the front page. I discovered that even when HN likes your work... it can be exhausting. But I loved it.

I was featured on Product Hunt, and made it to #10, with a 108 upvotes.

Not bad for a two day hack, eh?

September 12, 2019 Had the idea, started building.

While experimenting with LaTeX support on my main project deeplink.space, I discovered that I could speed up my workflow if I could look things up much faster.

I felt I could do this by building a LaTeX specifc search.

So I got building.

I found that googling LaTeX notation was slowing down my workflow, so I wrote a tool for quick lookups.
