Market Opportunity
Local-first collaborative editor for LaTeX/Typst with CRDT sync targets a $1.2B = 1,000,000 technical-authoring teams × $1.2K ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 8% YoY (collaboration and developer tooling growth; IDC/Gartner estimates for developer collaboration tools and specialty authoring markets, 2023-2025).
Key trends driving demand: Privacy-first software adoption is rising — organizations increasingly prefer local-first or on-prem options which creates demand for tools that don't default to vendor-hosted storage.; Hybrid/remote research collaboration is normalized — ongoing remote work keeps demand high for real-time collaborative editors that work offline and sync seamlessly.; New authoring formats like Typst are gaining attention alongside LaTeX — supporting both formats captures users exploring modern alternatives while needing LaTeX compatibility.; Mature CRDT and offline sync libraries reduce engineering barriers — developers can deliver robust collaboration without building sync engines from scratch..
