Within 25 years, TeX Live will provide TeX running in the web browser. And it will be a mainstream way of using TeX. That is my prediction.

Tomorrow's TeX Hour will present work being done now that will bring this into being. Important preparatory work has already been done by Mozilla. I'm doing modest work on simplifying and minimizing TeX Live.

TeX Hour date and time: Thursday 22 July, 6.30 to 7.30pm UK time.
UK time now: https://time.is/UK.

The videos for last week's TeX Hour (about 21st century Digital Typography) are available at:

The rest of this message is more information about recent and current work.

Iodide lets you do data science entirely in your browser. Create, share, collaborate, and reproduce powerful reports and visualizations with tools you already know.

Mozilla and Jupyter in-browser data science platform.

Several in-browser LaTeX compilers are available, getting closer to being mainstream.

https://www.swiftlatex.com/ # It's down right now.

Here's a non-compliant in-browser LaTeX to HTML5 translator.

Finally, there is of course MathJax (a NumFOCUS sponsored project, with important supporters). For over 10 years, MathJax has been providing in-browser typesetting of LaTeX notation mathematics.
