In one day - one day! - of going open source, the Typst typesetting system passed 5,000 stars on Github.

If you ever needed evidence that there is a real hunger for a TeX replacement, this is it.

If I understood correctly, currently Typst is a standalone tool for creating PDF files.

They have plans to emit HTML as well soon, which keeps some of us excited.

Not to my knowledge, no. They're trying to work at the TeX/LaTeX level of abstraction for the most part (I think).
