Hi, I'm new here. I only recently joined this list. I've recently acquired an iPad, and found myself wanting to be able to take notes with embedded equations and such. AFAICT, no such app yet exists.
Then I thought about LyX. Even if one was not able to compile a latex document on the ipad, LyX's editing features could still be very useful. So my question is, how feasible is this? I've spent the last couple of weeks on an exploratory mission - to see how hard it would be to build LyX for the iPad. I've gotten as far as getting a clean build. Completely non-functional, of course. Much in front-end and support is just stubbed out. But it's a start. I ask this question now because I've noticed recent comments to the effect of removing the GUI agnosticism that exists in the LyX codebase. It's this agnosticism that gave me the idea that it just might be possible. I realize it will be a lot of work. But I think LyX for iPad could occupy a useful niche in the iPad appverse. So tell me, am I wasting my time? Thanks, David
