This looks very cool. Thinking of using it for my lecture notes. I like the math support and that it seems to support d3 albeit with a bit of extra work, am wondering how easy it would be to bulk convert from another format say. LaTeX using something like Pandoc to markdown and then to idyll? Would rather not cut and paste everything.

Thanks rmbeard. We don't have any specific importing tools, but a markdown converter should get you most of the way there.

Happy to discuss further if you do end up wanting to use it.

on the other hand, it seems too gimmicky and too focused on their favorite scrollable interactions

Still early days is my impression. It is extendable which is a plus. I think it goes in the rightirection and can see myself using it. Which is not something that happens that often.
