Whenever I want to follow what's happening with a natural disaster like this, where many friends and family are potentially affected, I always use the Wikipedia page, which tends t…

To top it all off Pandoc has a great experience for contributors. Over the past few years I've opened several bug reports related to Typst and docx and all of them got responses th…
