For those of you using #TeXLaTeX and frequently looking for special symbols, there is Detexify. This website lets you draw something, and spits out the corresponding command and package. It has existed for more than 10 years, and it is still as useful as on day 1. For me, this is one of the prime examples of how AI tools *should* be: It does its job well, is fast, doesn't steal my data, and doesn't distract with "features" nobody asked for. https://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html #math

Various minor improvements to my #TikZ reference card. (Images attached.)

The card is information-dense, merely reminder of syntax, not an explanation of meaning. The PDF is A4+color but the source can be compiled for letter paper and/or greyscale (see the README).
