🧮 Corca: a more natural way to write math digitally
Corca is a WYSIWYG math editor with an ambitious goal:
to make writing mathematics as natural and fluid as writing plain text.
Instead of LaTeX commands, you can type expressions using near-natural language
like integral from 0 to 1, x over 2, or sqrt(3), and Corca converts them
instantly into structured, two-dimensional mathematical notation.
🚀 What really stands out
- Extremely fast incremental parsing
- Native 2D structures (fractions, integrals, sums, matrices)
- A semantic cursor that understands mathematical structure
- A writing experience very close to pen-and-paper
- Clean LaTeX export (confirmed by the creators)
🧠Why this matters
Even in 2026, writing math digitally is still painful.
LaTeX is powerful but not human-friendly.
Most visual editors are either slow or limited.
Corca attacks the real problem:
reducing the cognitive gap between thinking in math and typing it on a keyboard.
🔬 Current status
Corca appears to be a web-based editor in preview/private access,
but as a technical and UX concept, it’s one of the most promising approaches
to mathematical input we’ve seen so far.
If it scales well and keeps high-quality LaTeX export,
it could become a serious tool for students, educators, and researchers.
👉 Would you replace LaTeX with something like this in your daily workflow?
