Open source, Distill-inspired

Research papers, brought to life

A real-time collaborative editor for web-native scientific articles. Co-write with your team, drop in interactive figures, math and citations, and publish with one click - straight from a Hugging Face Space.

Three co-authors writing an article on Transformer attention - live cursors, block math, agent edits and a real publish, in under a minute.

Everything a modern paper needs

Built for science: not a generic doc editor with math bolted on.

Real-time collaboration

Co-write with visible cursors and per-user colors, powered by Y.js CRDTs. No merge conflicts, ever.

Interactive figures

Self-contained D3.js embeds instead of static PNGs. Readers explore your data, not just look at it.

AI embed studio

Describe a chart, get a working D3 embed, iterate on it in a chat loop. Powered by HF Inference Providers.

Math, citations, footnotes

KaTeX equations, BibTeX bibliographies, numbered figures, sidenotes and glossary terms out of the box.

One-click publishing

Static HTML page, print-ready PDF and social thumbnail, generated in one click while others keep editing.

Comments & discussion

Anchor a comment on any selection and resolve threads inline, like a doc review that ships.

LLM-ready articles

Every article ships a Markdown twin at /llms.txt, advertised in robots.txt, so agents can read your work.

Dark mode & live theming

Automatic dark mode, and a hue slider that retints the whole article - banner included - in one drag.

Hugging Face native

Deploys as a Space, signs in with HF OAuth, persists to HF datasets. Duplicate and you own the stack.

Your own editor in a minute

No API keys, no servers to run. Duplicate the Space and invite your co-authors.

Duplicate the Space, that's it

The editor runs entirely on your Hugging Face Space. Sign-in uses HF OAuth, documents persist to your own HF dataset, and the AI features (chat agent, embed studio) run on each user's own Inference Providers quota - nothing to configure.

  • No API keys, no servers, free CPU hardware
  • Co-authors just open the URL and sign in
  • Your documents live in your own HF dataset
  • AI features use your free monthly HF inference credits - PRO includes $2/month

AI embed studio

Describe a figure, get an interactive one

The embed studio turns a plain-language prompt - or a pasted dataset - into a self-contained D3 visualization, live in your article. Iterate in a chat loop until it looks right: the banner and the chart in this video were both made that way, without writing a line of code.

  • Works from a prompt, a CSV, or both
  • Output is plain HTML + D3 you own and can edit by hand
  • Runs on your included HF inference credits ($2/month with PRO)

Code-first alternative

Prefer your own editor and git?

The same rendering engine is available as an Astro + MDX template. Write chapters in MDX, craft every D3 embed by hand, version your paper with git and export PDF or LaTeX - the editor and the template produce the same output.
