In May, GitHub added native math support. Unfortunately, it left lots to be desired. Six weeks later, I'm taking another look. Have the major issues been fixed? (Spoiler: No.)

I have been using gist for my Spivak calculus problems. Often I write down on a notebook and then transcribe it to the $<latex>$ format. Along with the other markdown features it has been enough.

Plain latex has a steep curve and not friendly for mobile typing. Plain text is hard to read and hinders the actual math understanding. Therefore, i use gist markdown.
