Hey people! I want to learn typst, a modern alternative to LaTeX written in Rust.

Typst can incrementally compile the files to PDF.

Ironically, there is no incrementally refreshing PDF viewer afaik. So for direct visual output of my progress, I would like the fastest, smoothest PDF viewer.

  • Firefox loads too slow
  • Okular fast but nonremovable popup and “dancing text” on load

It can be as small and minimal for that task as possible.

Priorities:

  1. Smooth reload (fade or else) to not flicker
  2. Fast refresh
  3. Incremental loading ?
  4. Generally solid

    Are you relaunching Firefox every time? You could just reload the file by refreshing.

    But I don’t think any viewer is going to support keeping your place in the document when it changes.
