    Typst.

    Best thing after LaTeX. LaTeX was still better than word or other alternatives for pdf generation. But for notes I just used markdown. Typst just took the best of two worlds. It’s fast, accurate, intuitive, little boiler plate, and flexible.

        I haven’t really gone full typst on notes. But honestly my notes are mostly just texts, so it doesn’t really matter what I’m writing it in. I should be able to get it to typst with a few find and replace for old one. Math will be easier in typst, so I’m at least writing the new notes in typst when I need those.

        But I think for future notes I’ll do typst, specially if I have to share those notes it’s easier to send PDFs. Many of my colleagues get confused if I send markdown, so I had to export them to pdf for sharing anyway.
