Show HN: Fast handwritten LaTeX symbol recognition (Rust/WASM)

Fast handwritten LaTeX symbol recognition (Rust/WASM) operates in show hn launch.

Profile

I use Detexify (https://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html) a bunch when writing in LaTeX, which lets you draw a symbol and gives you the LaTeX command. But it's quite slow - it takes ~2s to load the page and ~1s to classify each symbol.So I made a faster version using Rust and WASM, running entirely in browser. This cuts the classification time down to ~7ms - fast enough to run on every mouse move, giving you live predictions as you draw.

Its activity falls under show hn launch; the profile below is assembled from public directory data.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
