CLUSTER SCIENTIFIC-EDITOR-TEXT · 8 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2009-04-10

Structured scientific text editors

This cluster consists of structured WYSIWYG text editors for scientific and technical writing, often inspired by TeX and Emacs, with built-in math rendering. The dated entries before the index start show an isolated entry in 2009, a concentration from 2020 to 2023, and a single entry in early 2026. All traction leaders (mogan-bin, qilin-bin, and texmacs) show 0 stars, indicating no dominant activity signal.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 8 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
