Yet one thing that these minimalistic text-based interfaces are terrible for is rendering mathematical notation.
> But for other purposes (literature) its a distraction that forces the brain to switch mode and diminishes the experience.
Yet we do not (typically) consume literature in a monospace, typographically impoverished form.
You can notate mathematics using text. In fact the mathematic notation rendered to vector graphics/bitmaps is typically rendered from such text-based notation.
Mathematics is increasingly done using text-based notation (e.g. Lean, Mathematica, SymPy), which I actually prefer because it's typically unambiguous unlike the traditional notation with wildly varying conventions and a lot left implicit or even ill-defined.
What everyone was impatiently waiting for: LaTeX microblogging !
But seriously, a specialized Bluesky client could easily do that for scientific communities - no need to reinvent the whole stack.
Sometimes SymPy fails at problems that Mathematica can solve though. And Mathematica is expensive pain.
