Philosophy
Mathematics has been digital for decades, yet most of it is still written by hand. Equations now live in browsers, chat interfaces, and shared documents. Yet the experience of writing, editing, and reusing mathematical expressions online is still slow, awkward, and disconnected.
Vieta Space aims to make online mathematics more fluent. To build an interface where you can express math quicker than you can write it by hand. The goal isn’t only to reproduce LaTeX in a friendlier form, but to make digital mathematics a first-class part of how people learn, reason, and collaborate online.
Math on the Web
Today, equations appear everywhere: in research papers, learning platforms, and especially inside large-language-model interfaces that render formulas with KaTeX or MathJax. They look great, however they’re hard to reuse. Copying or modifying them usually means digging through raw HTML or LaTeX.
Vieta Space’s Editor and Browser Add-ons work together to change that. The add-ons let you capture math from the web; the editor lets you refine it, transform it, and put it back wherever you need it.
Principles
- LaTeX Preservation. Everything in and out of Vieta Space is LaTeX-compatible. Output should be faithful to input, only better organized or more legible when it differs.
- LaTeX Invisibility. Users who don’t care about LaTeX shouldn’t have to see it. The editor aims to be a fully visual environment where math can be built intuitively.
- Interoperability. Math should connect to digital tools like Wolfram, Desmos, ChatGPT, and beyond without friction.
- Simplicity and Speed. The interface should disappear behind the work. No clutter or ceremony.
Direction
Vieta Space is built around an editable MathML-first architecture that bridges LaTeX’s precision with modern visual editing. It’s designed to integrate into tools people already use like browsers, note apps, document editors, and to open new ways of collaborating with AI systems that speak mathematics.
