🚀 Core Features

• Real-time MathJax 3 Rendering: Supports complex \begin{equation} environments, matrices, inline $$ variables, and custom macros (like \argmax).
• Smart Cache Reset: Run your equations as many times as you want. Equation numbers and \label{} tags reset cleanly on every execution without colliding.
• Graceful Error Handling: Syntax mistake? The app won’t crash. It catches missing braces or unclosed environments and gives you actionable suggested fixes.
• Citation Placeholders: Automatically detects \cite{} commands and converts them into clean UI placeholders so your text flows naturally.
• Pro Editor Shortcuts: Uses CodeMirror for a true IDE feel. Press Cmd + Enter (Mac) or Ctrl + Enter (Windows/Linux) to instantly render your code.
