Fantastic Graphical Equation Editor – Brisk
This morning I saw another very interesting graphical equation editor for the Mac from chocomoko. I had used something like this back in my days at Auburn, and it was very nice, but Brisk seems to really be a step above what I had used. To be fair, that was 20 years ago, and on Mac OS System 7, but at the time it was awesome. I looked up the package a few months ago to see if they had been keeping up, and in a sense they were - but not in the UI - just the platform.
Brisk is a different way of doing it, and I have to say, it's an interesting take on the same problem. It's using LaTeX (I believe), but it's also completely drag-n-drop for the graphical editing, so it's possible to get into this easily and then use the LaTeX out of it for papers, etc. Not a bad idea. But it retains the complete Mac GUI with pasteboard access, etc. Nice touches.
If I have to write papers again, this is something I'm going to look into to be sure.
