Thank you for clarifying the idea behind this tool. That is indeed the reason why I wrote this tool. I host meetings for an analytic number theory book club[1] where I use this tool to display math snippets (to elaborate a step in the book, to illustrate a theorem with examples, etc.) during our discussions. Additionally, the tool also supports self-rendering boards [2] which is useful to archive the notes taken for our book club meetings as self-rendering HTML files.

let me recommend LyX to you, which is a graphical frontend to latex that instantly renders.

Thanks! I am aware of LyX and I did try it earlier. I guess I prefer a non-WYSIWYM approach.

I also wanted to be able to share the board snippets discussed during the meetings in the same format, i.e., a simple HTML that self-renders itself as a board. That helps in both archiving the boards as well as reusing the boards in future meetings, if necessary. This was one of the few reasons why I just decided to write my own tool that suits my needs.

I have explained some of the reasons behind writing this tool here: https://github.com/susam/muboard#why (see section "Why?").

Here are a few examples of what the distributable board files look like: https://antmeet.github.io/boards/ .

sorry! i read too fast and missed the part where you said you were the creator! oh well i'm sure your reasons are good for your use case. personally after discovering lyx i am never going back to latex lol. also kudos on digging into ANT :)
