Re: Show HN: A whiteboard that writes math equations
#2I was inspired by https://calligrapher.ai to see if I can make something that looks similar to it, but for math.
I ended up hooking up an LLM on the backend to solve math problems as well.
This ended up being more of an exploration in trying to make alternative outputs for LLMs that are a little more dynamic than just text and/or LaTeX.

#3It looks almost like my handwriting :).
It's interesting that each time it shows a different variant.
Anyway, when I press "get the derivative of f(x)=x^2" I get
2-1
f'(x) = 2 x

#4I asked it to prove Fermats Last Theorem and it started writing (some nonsense) into the margin. Which was funnny.
Cool project tho

#5HNug of Death atm, but cool idea.
Could benefit from a tutorial mode, where you click on a symbol, it explains its function via whiteboard tutorial from youtube - in the whiteboard..

Should be back up!

Using a variety of hand-written inputs, so font variation would be present. If you could give a screenshot, that’d be helpful!

Unlike Fermat, the whiteboard has enough room in the margin :)

#9A bit too sloppy and a bit too slow for my taste, but otherwise great!

#10Nice tool! I like the human like handwriting, but I'd prefer a more adult one.
Writing the denominator first looks weird to me, same as writing the square root symbol after what's under it.
