The organization behind QT (QT Group) has pretty onerous licensing terms.

My understanding is that it's $3,950 per year just to develop using their libraries on your own computer if you ever in the future intend to commercialize your project using QT. Transitioning from the open source license to the commercial license is something you can do but it's not the happy path according to their FAQ.

My understanding is that some of the QT libraries or older forked versions of them are still completely under open source licenses but it seems like a very complicated situation if you have commercial aspirations with your project.

Something like Slint (Rust based but includes CPP and JS bindings) is not as comprehensive (yet) but it's more modern and the licensing terms are significantly more in line with software industry norms.

GPUI from Zed is also something to monitor: https://www.gpui.rs/

Also, in general you can find an extensive list of Rust-based native UI libraries here: https://areweguiyet.com/

From the paper:

It is important to note that the concept of GPTrillion and its capabilities are entirely fictional and were created as an April Fools joke for the AI community. GPTrillion does not actually exist, and the claims made in this paper are not based on any real experiments or data

The web app also has built in support for LaTeX rendering (it uses KaTeX). See this forum post: https://community.openai.com/t/new-feature-properly-shown-ma...

You can get ChatGPT to output conforming LaTeX expressions using the following prompt:

Could you please use the specific LaTeX math mode delimiters for your response?

LaTex math mode specific delimiters as following

1. inline math mode : `\(` and `\)`

2. display math mode: insert linebreak after opening `$$`, `\[` and before closing `$$`, `\]`

I built a service for reading RSS feeds on your Kindle in their newspaper format. As far as I know, I went the farthest compared to any competing service in terms of reproducing the format exactly with the highest fidelity and full feature set (it required a lot of time and stubborn effort to reverse engineer it).

Unfortunately it seems like they are discontinuing support for using the Send-to-Kindle functionality for .mobi files and I hadn't really been able to devote attention to it given some other things I had to attend to so it's now defunct.

If anyone has anymore information on the status of loading .mobi files onto a Kindle, I'd be interested to hear about it.
