Typst is a new markup-based typesetting system that is designed to be as powerful as LaTeX while being much easier to learn and use. ^[1.1]^

[…] I haven’t found many editors with typst support unfortunately

I'm not sure what you mean — I personally just write it in VS Code ^[1]^, and then compile it locally ^[2]^.

I meant a normal note taking application, not text editors or IDEs. I use markor on my Android phone, it has support for Markdown and Asciidoc. Markdown is fine until you need tables.

I've heard from a lot of people how typst is amazing, but found no apps with support for it. Is it because it's still in development ?
