About

MathQuill is an open source formula editor for the Web maintained by @laughinghan and @stufflebear.

MathQuill was born of a need to communicate math. The creators, @laughinghan and @jneen, used LaTeX for projects together, but struggled to collaborate online once they were apart. They wanted a tool to both write and read math without resorting to ugly flat text or more cumbersome conventions.

After a couple of iterations, MathQuill had become widely useful. Today, MathQuill is used in educational software, math visualizations, collaborative editors, and more.
