Website

[mp4096]

The website should be an entry point for Indentex beginners.

It should have:

• [ ] a pitch
• [ ] an antipitch (cf. ripgrep's antipitch)
• [ ] comparison to other alternatives (pandoc etc.)
• [ ] examples for indentex usage
• [ ] best practices (e.g. which parts of project should be done in pure LaTeX and which in indentex)
• [ ] links to binary downloads
• [ ] installation instructions
• [ ] tooling instructions (e.g. how to integrate it into TeXstudio etc.)

Funny idea: Use the wasm32-unknown-emscripten target to compile to WebAssembly (or asm.js) and use this in the browser to provide a live transpiler demo. Downside: The emscripten SDK needs 24 GB of space (wtf).

Yeah, a live demo would be cool. However, using wasm/emscripten seems to be unreasonable at the moment, I'd wait a couple of years.

I mean, using Rust for writing client-side code is weird. It's like using JavaScript for server programming. Oh wai...
