FAQ

Threw this website together after the showcase on Reddit and Discord blew up for some kind :-)

Will it be FOSS / open-source?

Some parts of Textique will be open-sourced in the near future (plugins, parts of the engine), internal parts will still be kept closed

What are your plans about pricing?

I hate subscriptions - period! There will be a free trial on this site, which does allow you to use the application without saving / exporting

The application itself will be a one-time payment of around 12$. Buy once - keep it forever!

good to know: the money you invest into this software is also going to bake the open-source projects behind it (typst etc)

Which hardware will it run on?

Any Mac that is capable of running atleast macOS 12 or so called Monterey

Which languages / typesets are supported?

Currently Textique is intended to support Typst, Markdown and reStructuredText

On the agenda are also extensions to support Atlassian-type syntax, Hugo live rendering and more

good to know: you can bring any kind of typesetter / compiler which is able to generate PDF stream data

Is Textique Swift only?

The application itself is written in Swift using SwiftUI with some abstractions to Objective-C. The core parts, as the engine for example or the bridge are written in Rust!
