# Verso — Next Alpha Roadmap
Ideas and features deferred from the current alpha.
---
## Next alpha (post-current)
### Typst editing experience (inspired by Collabst)
- **typst.ts WASM preview** — Run the Typst compiler in the browser via
WebAssembly (typst.ts). This would give instant, sub-second preview
without a server round-trip, and would eliminate the entire class of
race conditions in the CLSI watcher (files written → typst compiles →
resolver missed). Could coexist with the CLSI watcher for PDF export
while using the WASM path for live preview.
- **Tinymist LSP integration** — Wire up
[Tinymist](https://github.com/Myriad-Dreamin/tinymist) (the Typst
language server) behind a WebSocket proxy. Would give Typst files
first-class autocomplete, hover docs, go-to-definition, and inline
error diagnostics — the main editing comfort gap vs. a native editor.
### Editor UX for non-LaTeX formats (.typ, .qmd, .md)
- **Visual/rich-text editing mode** — A toggle between raw source and a
rendered-in-place view for `.typ`, `.qmd`, and `.md` files (similar to
Overleaf's rich-text mode for LaTeX). Users who don't know Typst or
Markdown syntax should be able to edit content without seeing markup.
CodeMirror 6 already supports this pattern via a custom `NodeView` layer
or a separate Prosemirror bridge.
- **Toolbar / insertion shortcuts** — A formatting toolbar and keyboard
shortcuts for common operations, adapted per file type:
- **All formats**: bold, italic, underline, headings, bullet/numbered
lists, inline code, links.
- **Quarto / Markdown**: insert image, insert table, insert code block
with language tag.
- **Quarto RevealJS**: insert slide divider (`---`), insert speaker
notes (`::: notes`), insert columns layout, insert video embed
(using Quarto's `{{< video >}}` shortcode).
### AI writing assistant
- **In-editor AI assistant** — Inline writing help similar to what Overleaf
and CoCalc offer: suggest completions, rephrase selections, explain LaTeX
errors, and generate boilerplate (figures, tables, equations). Should work
across all three formats (`.tex`, `.typ`, `.qmd`). Backend would proxy
requests to a configurable model API (Claude, OpenAI-compatible) so
self-hosters can bring their own key.
