This does not need to be a 8 minute video. Read your tldw instead. Thanks, OP.

What are you using it for? Did you publish anything written in typst? Edit: this is a genuine question.

There are a lot of typos in this book. Are you looking for someone to proofread? Great work btw

Under every single LaTeX themed post there is someone suggesting typst. Why use something open, if you can use something proprietary? /s

Huh.. so you can. That’s interesting, I did not know that. Thanks.

I am still angry at google for killing Play Music. You could upload your own files, back in the day. It was a genuinely awesome and unique product that I used every single day.

That’s exactly it! The sad thing is that it’s more convenient to pirate than get 5+ subscriptions and an extra app on your phone to stay ahead of disappearing content.

Germany/Austria/Switzerland. You absolutely need to learn German though. It’s not unsafe here, but the right shift is happening all across Europe right now.

You may think they would want to use all that money to make people not need to pirate things. but here we are.

You are correct, LaTeX isn’t very fast in general, but my 8 core ryzen server with 8GB of ram assigned to the vm running overleaf is usually twice as fast as the official overleaf unpaid tier. The specs you listed should produce much better results than the official overleaf. This seems weird to me.

As an example, I just compiled my thesis, which is about 60 pages, lots of references, pictures, and generally a heavy document. On my server it takes about 35 seconds, the official overleaf just times out (pay or we won’t compile your document).
