I'm writing a thesis using https://typst.app
I was hesitant to use it at the beginning but in the end, it's one of the best choice I made so far.
"Select where you heard about typst"
-> Fediverse
Finally somewhere that actually has Fediverse as an option, this must be a good app.
You'll thank me later...
This, I also used to create a CV in typist, after a really frustrating experience with LaTeX and the difference is night and day.
And the best part is that errors are actually understandable, so you can actually fix them
Out of curiosity, what program are you using to write? I think I saw they have a web editor, but I there’s a neovim plugin (and maybe an LSP) as well I think.
Vscode with typst-preview plugin. A wonderful combo.
I use VScodium with some plugins. But writing in any editor and running the typst executable with the "watch" argument is also an option. That way as soon as you overwrite the source file a new PDF is generated. In that case I use Okular which auto refreshes when the open document changes.
