HI Jeremy, I'd like to 2nd this. Like Yakov, I am also interested in using TiddlyWiki for scientific notetaking. I think this make a terrific Log Book and Journal.
In the past, I have really enjoyed using LyX for writing LaTeX. Instead of taking a straight WYSIWYG approach, LyX takes a WYSIWYM (what-you-see-is-what-you-mean) approach. In other words, don't clutter the editor with formatting but still give the user a preview of the rendered LaTeX. I think something like this that perhaps renders the Markdown code as you type (or highlights the syntax) would be helpful. A couple of other approaches that look promising: 1. There is really cool jQuery plugin called writemaths. This creates a LaTeX preview that hovers above as you write your equations. jQuery plugin. Here is the link to github: https://github.com/christianp/writemaths 2. SciNotepad take an approach similar to LyX. Looks promising... but I think they are using ASCII math instead of LaTeX. 3. Confluence has a terrific WYSIWYG environment. Like Basecamp, this allows the user to insert blocks of content, or widgets (a todo list, a text block an image). You can then drag and drop each block to reorder it on the page(pretty cool). Anyway, I love working with TW and I would love to see its development continue to evolve!
