The latest version of Typesetter, the minimalist Typst editor, brings a bunch of improvements for package and template usage, most notably:
- a GUI package manager for adding and removing custom packages and templates;
- a template selection popover in the header bar for creating new documents from built-in and user-installed templates;
- a small selection of built-in templates (more coming soon).
