Hey ImLuke,
Awesome project! I'd love to see a multivariable solve feature! Great job!

Hi there cool project , but your demo link should be of a channel in hackclub slack , make a new channel and add your bot there , and have link of it , if you have any sort of questions feel free to dm me @Amu :D

Hey! Thanks for shipping your project. It's not quite ready for voting yet, so here's what we'd like you to change:
-your project banner should be a screenshot of your project in action , change it from project settings
-your readme seem to be AI generated ,rewrite it and it should have all the info about your project you can check out the resource section to learn more on how to write a proper readme
Once you've made these, ship it again and we'll take another look!

Hii guys! I’m Luke, and this is T”eXpress” (a little wordplay between “TeX” and “Express” kinda cool, right? 😄).

T”eXpress” is a Slack bot that helps you render TeX formulas into beautiful images, making them easier to understand and more visually appealing. You can quickly add these formulas to your homework, reports, or presentations in a clean and professional way!

Besides rendering formulas, it can also help you solve equations with unknowns, making it easier to check whether your solutions are correct and whether you have found all possible answers. And when you’re bored, you can explore different mathematical formulas and discover the “beauty of mathematics” 😅.

The biggest challenge of this project was probably the image rendering process. I had to do a lot of research with Google and ChatGPT to figure out how to properly render LaTeX formulas into images. Other parts were relatively familiar to me since I already had experience with Python.

The thing I’m most proud of about this project is that it can make learning easier for students. I believe it can be a really useful tool for subjects like Math, Physics, and Chemistry, where complex formulas appear frequently and need to be presented clearly.

IF YOU WANT TO TRY MY PROJECT

On the Stardance Hack Club Slack, you can join the #texpress-bot channel or invite my bot using: /invite @TeXpress

/texpress
Example: /texpress \frac{a+b}{c}
→ Renders your TeX formula into an image. You can also choose between dark mode, light mode, and transparent mode depending on your preference.

/tsolve
Example: /tsolve (x-67)*(x+67)=0
→ Helps you solve equations and find all possible values of x, no matter how many solutions there are.

/trandom
→ Helps you explore interesting mathematical formulas and applications that you might not know yet, such as the Mean of a Poisson Distribution or Sample Variance. (Some of them were new discoveries for me too! 😄)
