Why not typst watch ?

The bottleneck is the pdf viewer. typst watch is not fast enough to preview the pdf file in real time. (You may also choose faster pdf viewer like Zathura.)

How?

We follow the similar approach as typst.app, by rendering the doc to framebuffers. And send them through websocket to the browser.

Note: Most of the code is directly copy-pasted from https://github.com/typst/typst/tree/main/cli

Usage

Install from source:

cargo run --release -- watch ./test.typ

Or download prebuilt binary: https://nightly.link/Enter-tainer/typst-ws/workflows/build/master

Then open index.html in your browser.
