Hello Bhavya,
This is awesome!
I would love to see you make tutorials using MathML with short snip videos.
I really dislike listening to videos, but sometimes they are extremely
useful.
I would also love to see some kind of assignments or lessons on how to use
math in markdown.
I would also love some trig lessons.
Thanks,
