\section{Quantum Entanglement}

When two particles become entangled,

measuring one instantly determines the

state of the other, regardless of the

distance separating them. This

\begin{equation}

|\Psi\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

(|01\rangle + |10\rangle)

\end{equation}

The gap between thinking and seeing

When you type in a word processor, you see the result immediately. Visual feedback is part of the thinking process. When you type in LaTeX, you see source code. The rendered result arrives seconds or even minutes later. The feedback loop is broken.

New markup language
No CTAN package ecosystem
No microtypography

texlode

Constant time, any document size
Sliders for font sizes & spacing
Real LuaTeX engine
Standard LaTeX source

What changes when feedback is instant

You stop guessing and start seeing. Adjust a margin, refine a paragraph, tweak an equation — and the typeset result updates before your finger leaves the key. Layout decisions that used to take compile-wait-check cycles now happen in flow.

Better layout decisions

See how your paragraph actually breaks across lines as you write it. No more compiling to check if a sentence wraps awkwardly or an equation overflows the margin.

Same speed at 500 pages

Editing a paragraph in a 500-page textbook feels exactly like editing a one-page letter. Document size does not affect your typing experience.

Your existing documents work

texlode runs the real LuaTeX engine. Your .tex files, bibliographies, custom class files, and packages from CTAN's 6,000+ ecosystem just work. Nothing to port or rewrite.

Real typographic quality

Knuth-Plass line breaking, proper hyphenation, optical margin alignment. The same algorithms that make LaTeX output beautiful — now visible while you write, not after you compile.

Drag to adjust any value

Font sizes, margins, spacing — any point value in your document has an integrated slider. Drag to compare settings and see the typeset result update live.

Performance that scales

The fast path is O(1) with respect to document size. Whether you are editing a single-page letter or a 500-page textbook, paragraph compilation time stays the same.

Where texlode fits

Every editor makes different trade-offs between latency, typographic quality, compatibility, and collaboration.

System	Latency	At 300 pages	Typography	Collaboration	LaTeX Support
Word / Google Docs	<100 ms	<100 ms	Low	Yes	No
Typst	Fast	Scales with doc	Medium	Planned	No
Overleaf	2-5 s	10-30 s	High	Yes	Full
VS Code + LaTeX Workshop	5-20 s	20-60 s	High	No	Full
texlode	<1 ms*	<1 ms*	High	Yes	LuaLaTeX**

* Per-paragraph fast path. Full document compile for page positions runs in the background.
** Powered by LuaLaTeX with microtype, OpenType fonts, and full math support. ~150 standard commands. Custom packages coming soon.

From writing to print in one place

texlode is not just an editor. It is a publishing platform. Write your book, get it edited, design the cover, and ship printed copies — without leaving the app.

Automatic cover creation

Generate a print-ready cover with correct spine width, bleed, and barcode — calculated from your page count and trim size.

Hire an editor

Invite a professional editor directly into your document. They see the same real-time preview you do and edit collaboratively.

Print on demand

Click publish, set your price, and your book is printed and shipped to readers worldwide. No inventory, no upfront cost.

Free collaboration

No paywalled tiers for collaborators. Invite co-authors and editors for free, with real-time collaborative editing and full version history.

Run it your way

texlode is available as a hosted service — or deployed on your own infrastructure. Universities, publishers, and enterprises can run the full platform on-premises, with their own TeX Live packages, their own fonts, and their own data.

Hosted

We run the infrastructure. You write and publish. Nothing to install, nothing to maintain.

On-Premises

Your servers, your data, your LaTeX packages. A single Docker image with everything included. No data leaves your network.
