Could you build this?
Partial The writing workspace, LaTeX-aware editor, and LLM features are vibe-codeable, but handwriting-to-LaTeX recognition and a licensed 6,000-icon scientific library are real technical and data hurdles.
What it would actually take: Build a rich-text editor (such as ProseMirror or TipTap) that compiles to LaTeX, with an LLM layer for translation and writing help. The hard pieces are a handwriting recognition model for math (or a fine-tuned vision model trained on math handwriting) and a curated, properly licensed icon/figure asset library. Those need ML expertise and data acquisition.
