Katex: "Built with KaTeX" page

[kevinbarabash]

I was thinking it might be cool to show off other projects that are built using KaTeX. Three.js does this, imo, to great effect: http://threejs.org/.

I saw a cool project on HN this morning that uses KaTeX:

• https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9863152
• https://github.com/AndrewBelt/hack.chat

Does anyone know of other projects? Is there a way to search for projects that us KaTeX?

[kevinbarabash]

Here's a lit of projects that depend on KaTeX: http://registry.npmjs.org/-/_view/dependedUpon?group_level=3&startkey=%5B%22katex%22%5D&endkey=%5B%22katex%22%2C%7B%7D%5D&skip=0&limit=1000

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18796890/how-do-you-find-out-which-npm-modules-depend-on-yours suggests some tools which wrap this REST API.

Not every user of KaTeX uses npmjs to get it. How can we find the others? Go through the 3,900 hits for katex.min.js reported by Google?

If we have a prominent list in the readme, people will probably see it and add themselves (if we ask them to).

[sophiebits]

Most npm users won't count as dependents anyway because their apps aren't pushed to npm.

• Dropbox Paper as per #551.
• Bokeh using an extension.
• CindyJS which is what got me involved.

What do we do about this collection of projects? Put it in the README? Put it in the Wiki? Put it on the website? All of these?

[kevinbarabash]

We could start with the README b/c it's low cost but high visibility (compared to the wiki).

• Gradescope
• Facebook Messenger
• Presumably some Khan Academy stuff :-)

Just discovered this list. I agree that a section of the README would be cool: this will really show the importance of KaTeX. Maybe just a comma-separated list of linked titles would be a good start (though of course images/logos would be cooler, but harder to maintain).

Hi, This is currently the only issue labeled "good first issue". I would like to take this. Thinking of adding few popular names in the main ReadMe and add a link to a gist containing all the other names.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/katex has a list of npm packages which depend on KaTeX.

[ylemkimon]

There is also https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX/network/dependents, but I don't know how to sort it.

[ccreus]

In case you find it relevant, we are happy users of KaTeX for the exercise statements in RACSO (an online judge used in the subject «Theory of Computation» at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia)

[kevinbarabash]

The page now exists, we just need to add links from above to it. See https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX/blob/master/website/pages/en/users.js.

[kevinbarabash]

We should add khanacademy.org too. 🙂

[ylemkimon]

@kevinbarabash I couldn't find a square logo and logo/trademark guidelines for Khan Academy, so I've placed GitLab logo as a placeholder. I didn't expect the PR to get merged soon. 😄

[kevinbarabash]

@ylemkimon I'll look up that info and will post it here.

I added most of the explicit examples above in #1569. Exceptions:

• http://algebra.js.org/ mentions how to use it in conjunction with KaTeX (for rendering the output of toTex()), but I don't think it directly uses KaTeX.
• http://acko.net/blog/mathbox2-pt2/ seems to be in the same category
• I haven't gone through the many NPM dependants.
