Open-Source Swift Implementation for the Editor

swiftly-viper commented 1 month ago

Hi!

I recently purchased the TechniCalc app on the App Store and was highly impressed—definitely a 5/5 rating from me.

I am particularly interested in the "TechniCalc Editor," which appears to be the only truly interactive editor of its kind (responsive to touch from finger/cursor). I've been looking for an open-source version or something similar to learn from. I've checked your ReadMe and attempted to figure it out on my own but faced some challenges trying to translate it into Swift.

Could you please let me know if there is an open-source version available, or if there are plans to release one in Swift? Any guidance or resources you could share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and for developing such an awesome tool!

Thank you for your support 😁

No plans personally to port this to swift, but if you follow @aheze, he is working on something similar in Swift

Follow him on Twitter. He posts about the progress occasionally

Currently I’m not planning on open sourcing it but it’s just a SwiftUI tree. The hard part is the gestures and edge cases, but getting the math to display shouldn’t be too bad. Can send u snippets if u want.

Other than this then, there’s also https://github.com/kostub/iosMath

The actual rendering for TechniCalc just uses MathJax. It’s react native so was JS anyway

I would immensely appreciate any snippets you can send, thank you for the reply! @aheze

Thank you @jacobp100 for the additional advice as well.
