Corca

Collaborative Math Editor. Typing math should be as natural as typing text or code.

Text is a string. Math isn’t. It grows in every direction into multi-line structures. That’s why people still do math on paper. We’re bringing that experience to computers. Corca is WYSIWYG math editor, and it's fast!

(x² − 1)/(x − 1) looks like it should simplify, and it does.

In Corca you select it, right-click, pick simplify and then factor, and it becomes 1 + x where you wrote it.

@aussetg Will do

We're working on a new math font. It's a bit controversial, because people are used to classic serif math fonts. Ours is sans-serif, built from the monospace fonts in code editors

@ambriganti Thank you! ❤️ Geist is awesome!

[Corca @Corca_math]

@nickisnoble @illo we're going to make it open once it's done

@marcinignac We tried, but dropped it. Type some math in Corca and you'll see why

@kostyafarber_ @manueljlin DM’d you

[Corca @Corca_math]

@evilrabbit_ Just checked: it was March 2024, and Glenn did reply. My bad, I thought no one had responded. Would love to talk with you, DMing you now

[Corca @Corca_math]

@evilrabbit_ Would love to merge and make Geist Math together

[Corca @Corca_math]

@evilrabbit_ Fun fact: we didn't plan to make our own font. We reached out to the Vercel team about math in Geist, but didn't get a response

[Corca @Corca_math]

@nicgimbal Check out how it looks in actual math on Corca

[Corca @Corca_math]

@evilrabbit_ Yes! We started from Geist as the base. But inspiration for this post was Storm

[Corca @Corca_math]

Yes, you can return it back

[Corca @Corca_math]

Now you can move anything into an exponent in one click!

While we're working on stuff like AI and computation, we keep polishing math typing. It should be as simple and fast as typing text, so small details like this matter.

[Corca @Corca_math]

@ItsEthanVega Yes!

[Corca @Corca_math]

@ale0aranda @UCSH Fixed. Everything should work

[Corca @Corca_math]

@ale0aranda @UCSH We will look into that. I’ll DM you
