# TypstDrive [](https://github.com/your-username/typstdrive) [](https://typst.app/) [](https://www.rust-lang.org/) [](https://kit.svelte.dev/) [](https://tailwindcss.com/) [](https://bun.sh/) [](https://www.postgresql.org/) [](https://www.docker.com/) TypstDrive is a collaborative web editor for Typst. With built-in dark mode, multiple themes, and a clean Google Docs-like interface, it makes creating and sharing documents effortless. ## Features - **Real-Time Collaboration**: Powered by Yjs and CodeMirror 6, see changes and cursors from other users instantly. - **Instant Preview**: Compile Typst to SVG on the fly with sub-second latency, featuring interactive document zoom controls. - **Customizable Themes**: Choose from multiple editor themes (Catppuccin, Arch Linux, Cerberus) and toggle global dark mode. - **Export Options**: Export your compiled documents directly to PDF, PNG, SVG, HTML, Markdown, Word, or LaTeX formats using internal conversion and Pandoc integrations. - **User Authentication & Document Access**: Secure accounts, workspaces, and sharing features via email-based collaborator invitations (Editor or Viewer roles) for all your documents. - **Presentation Mode**: Turn your documents into instant slideshows with built-in slide controls and a live drawing/annotation tool overlay. - **Asset Management**: Upload and seamlessly use custom fonts and images directly within your documents. ## Fonts & Images TypstDrive allows you to upload custom `.ttf` or `.otf` fonts and image files (`.png`, `.jpg`, `.svg`, etc.) to your folders or directly to a document's workspace. ### Custom Fonts When you upload a font file (e.g., `JetBrainsMono-Regular.ttf`), it is automatically made available to the Typst compiler. You can use the font in two ways: 1. **By Typographic Family Name:** You can use the internal font family name embedded in the file. ```typst #set text(font: "JetBrains Mono") ``` 2. **By Filename (Convenience Alias):** You can also use the exact name of the uploaded file (without the extension), which is extremely helpful if you are unsure of the exact typographic family name. ```typst #set text(font: "JetBrainsMono-Regular") ``` ### Images Uploaded images can be referenced natively using the `#image` function in Typst. Simply upload your image file (e.g., `logo.png`) to your dashboard and reference it by its exact filename in your `.typ` document. ```typst #image("logo.png", width: 50%) ``` ## Self-Hosting TypstDrive is completely self-hostable. We provide a Docker image that packages both the Rust backend and the SvelteKit frontend. ### Prerequisites - [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) - [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) ### Getting Started 1. Clone the repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/your-username/typstdrive.git cd typstdrive ``` 2. Start the application: ```bash docker-compose up -d ``` 3. Open your browser and navigate to: ``` http://localhost:3000 ``` ### Data Storage The PostgreSQL database containing users and documents is persisted via the Docker volume `pgdata`. This is automatically configured in `docker-compose.yml` to ensure your data persists across container restarts. ## Local Development If you'd like to contribute or run TypstDrive without Docker: ### Frontend 1. Install dependencies: `npm install` 2. Run the dev server: `npm run dev` ### Backend 1. Start the local database: `docker-compose up -d db` 2. Navigate to the `server/` directory. 3. Build and run: `cargo run` Note: The frontend expects the backend to be running on port 3000. During local development via Vite, API calls are proxied automatically. ## Screenshots
