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:
- Smooth reload (fade or else) to not flicker
- Fast refresh
- Incremental loading ?
- Generally solid
You might be interested in https://mupdf.com/wasm/demo/index.html?file=../../docs/mupdf_explored.pdf, as I’ve seen people recommend this for large PDFs that would lag out even native viewers. I don’t know about flickering though as I haven’t tried it out much.
