Update: Live Preview, 11 Languages, and a Project Dashboard That Works

Introducing Live Preview — a real LaTeX engine running right in your browser that recompiles as you type, with no server round-trip. Plus 11 languages, project instructions for the AI assistant, a rebuilt projects dashboard, and a lighter editor.

The headline this build: Live Preview. TeXposit can now compile your document with a real LaTeX engine running entirely in your browser, updating as you type — no waiting on the server. On top of that, the editor now speaks 11 languages and loads lighter.

Change notes for update build 260803

  • New: Live Preview: Turn it on and your document recompiles in the browser as you type — a full LaTeX engine runs client-side, so there's no server round-trip and no waiting on a Compile button. The last good render stays on screen while the next one builds, so the preview never goes blank. There's also an optional faster Draft mode for quick approximate rendering on heavy documents.
  • TeXposit in your language: The interface is now translated into German, Spanish, Finnish, French, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Swedish, and Chinese, alongside English. Pick your language and the whole editor follows.
  • Rebuilt projects dashboard: The projects page was redesigned from scratch. Sort by name, date, or last activity, archive the projects you're finished with, and see a real preview thumbnail of each document's first page instead of a generic icon.
  • New here? Start here: First-time users get a short welcome walkthrough of the editor instead of a blank project and a blinking cursor.
  • Profile pictures: Upload your own avatar so collaborators and comment threads show a face rather than initials.
  • Tell the AI how you write: Each project can now carry its own instructions — your citation style, your section conventions, your preferred packages — and the assistant follows them on every request. You can also attach reusable writing skills to a project, so the same guidance travels with the document instead of being re-explained in every conversation.
  • Clearer error messages: Compilation and preview errors are now clearer.
  • WYSIWYG improvements: The visual Markdown editor gained working status-bar controls, and more editor dialogs (history, references, file/project creation, AI setup, profile) are now fully localized.
  • Faster, lighter editor: The page-load footprint is smaller, background file syncing is scoped to the projects you actually have open, and a number of slow database queries were fixed.
