Spartan Write

A powerful, AI-assisted LaTeX editor featuring a local FastAPI backend, a Tauri + React frontend, and a built-in benchmark suite.

Architecture

The project consists of three main components:

• server: A Python-based FastAPI server running in the cloud. See Sidecar Documentation.
• sidecar: A Python-based FastAPI server running alongside the frontend. See Sidecar Documentation.
• frontend: A Tauri + React frontend. See Frontend Documentation.
• benchmark: A CLI tool for evaluation. See Benchmark Documentation.

Prerequisites

• Python: 3.10+ (managed via uv)
• Node.js: 20+ (for frontend)
• Rust: Latest stable (for Tauri)
• Tectonic: Typesetting engine (downloaded automatically during build)

Quick Start

1. Initialize Dependencies:

   make init

2. Run Development Environment: Starts the server, sidecar, and the frontend in development mode. You must run make build once to set up deeplinks for authentication, before trying to start the dev server.

   make dev

Build Process

The application is built using a custom build.py script that:

1. Builds the Python CLI wheel using uv.
2. Creates a standalone executable using PyInstaller.
3. Bundles the executable as a Tauri sidecar.
4. Builds the final Tauri application.

To build the project:

make build
