This looks very cool. Thinking of using it for my lecture notes. I like the math support and that it seems to support d3 albeit with a bit of extra work, am wondering how easy it would be to bulk convert from another format say. LaTeX using something like Pandoc to markdown and then to idyll? Would rather not cut and paste everything.

on the other hand, it seems too gimmicky and too focused on their favorite scrollable interactions

Happy to discuss further if you do end up wanting to use it.
Hey HN - I'm the creator of Idyll, it is really cool to see it here! To respond to the other comment - I did post it a few months ago but it didn't get much traction then. Happy to answer any questions about the project, or why you would want to use something like this.

Hi! I'm thinking about using this for creating tests in school. How would one send state to a backend? Use refs?
For example, here is a page that uses firebase to persist state https://mathisonian.github.io/idyll/firebase/. The custom components for that page are here https://github.com/mathisonian/idyll/tree/master/firebase/co...
Looks cool, would be a lot more interesting to me, if it included data io with postgres database functions and views. I never use direct to table updates. Being able to easily created a web front end to a database with a tool like yours, would be extremely useful to me and I would happily pay for such. There are umpteen tools for creating schemas and managing databases - most like PgAdmin are pretty poor - I use Subl…
If you look for a, less-featured, FOSS version, try Lazarus [2]

We are in the process of adding compile time logic, which will hopefully enable more use cases like this. (so you could e.g. run a database query at compile time and use that to populate the page). happy to ping you once this is landed, or you can follow the progress here https://github.com/idyll-lang/idyll/issues/70
