I'm all for improving over LaTeX. But if even their own advertisements are so full of misinformation, is typst an actual improvement?

based on typst, which as you well know has many improvements over LaTeX (for one, with typst.ts it can be used online)

Overleaf?

automatically updatable (via Tauri)

Isn't this what Linux package managers do? Or also the rust latex compiler.

easy to install and configure (no need for a separate installation of LaTeX for instance)

There is a rust latex compiler that automatically installs packages.

I mean Typst does have some nice features. This is just a wysiwyg editor based on it. I'd argue that most people will not use such editors for either LaTeX or Typst because they want the control. But yeah the authors take is lame.

The author of TyX is not affiliated to Typst, I think.

The bullet points are a comparison of TyX with LyX and probably biased but it still make good points.

Also, I found LyX and excellent and underrated software and it helped me to learn LaTeX so I think TyX could be a good starting point for someone who want to try typst. It's in their first steps but it's looking good.
