Hello LyX Devs, Stefan Kottwitz of LaTeX-Community has suggested that integration<http://latex-community.org/home/news/47-news-latex-editors/478-lyx-google-code>with a cloud-based LaTeX compiling service would be a useful feature for LyX users to have, so that a local installation of LaTeX need not be necessary and to guarantee distribution consistency. I'm the co-founder of SpanDeX <https://spandex.io>, and if this feature is attractive enough to build, I wanted to offer our cooperation in exposing the rest of our API<https://spandex.io/api/test-http-post>. We support many popular compilers, and are adding support for more features as we go along. I've also had this idea that we could expose some of our other features, like version history, through the API and have it implemented through an external editor. It's up to you, obviously, if you're interested. If so feel free to email me directly. I'd love to chat next week about the kinds of things you might be interested in.
Best, Gregori Kanatzidis greg...@spandex.io
