What kind of output formats to you target? I assume PDF, but aside from that? HTML? epub?
Will you maintain a history of a document? I assume this will be a hosted platform, and as a user, I cannot just add a document into source control?
ePub is a subset of HTML so the latter would come first.
We will maintain a version history and offer the typical change tracking features, but this will likely be a paid feature for users who join after the beta.
How do you envision the process of submitting to journals looking?
MSWord and Latex are normal in this space and I’m not aware of any that take PDFs for the obvious reason that journals want control of the rendering. I can only presume that this is somewhat of a fraught tech lock-in that resists new formats/languages/backends.
In the meantime, many conferences just want camera-ready PDFs for their proceedings. Additionally, Typst will be useful in a university/lab/research group context and for tech reports right away!
