It has been in its half-baked state since 2012 when I wrote it in a single night so that I could share solutions to mathematics puzzles my friends and I used to challenge each other with.
Somehow the use of this tool spread from my friends to their friends and colleagues, then schools and universities, and then to IRC channels that involve mathematical discussions.
I would encourage you to keep working on this - IMHO it has potential in that scientific collaboration (also in mathematics) is increasingly done by globally distributed teams.
You may need:
- user/ID management
- linking to Overleaf/GitHub for collaborative authoring of jointly produced output (e.g. papers to publish a proof)
- integration (e.g. via HTML snippets) in user's personal blogs.
There's semi-competition from e.g. Mathematica notebooks and the likes, but these are perhaps more targeting single authors, not conversations/teams.
I wrote this tool all throughout a Saturday night 9 years ago and shared it with my friends on the next morning. The first URL (post 13) shows the first puzzle that was shared with the tool. The fourth URL (post 39) was the first post by someone I did not know. That's when I realized that people beyond my immediate friends' circle have begun using it now.
