Article content:

Penrose is a platform that allows people to create beautiful diagrams just by typing mathematical notation in plain text. The goal is to make easy for non-experts to create and explore high-quality diagrams, providing deeper insight into challenging technical concepts. We aim to democratize the process of creating visual intuition.

News: Weʼve released a [1]short introduction to the latest design of Penrose.

News: Do you often make diagrams of ideas in math, science, or computer science for learning, research, or teaching? Weʼd like to [2]interview you as part of a study to inform the design of Penrose.

The Penrose team is based at Carnegie Mellon University, comprising [3]Katherine Ye, [4]Nimo Ni, [5]Dor Maʼayan, [6]Max Krieger, [7]Rain Du, [8]Josh Sunshine, [9]Jonathan Aldrich, and [10]Keenan Crane. (Emeritus: [11]Jenna Wise and [12]Lily Shellhammer.)

Preliminary work on Penrose may be found in this two-page [13]proposal (in DSLDI ʼ17) and the accompanying [14]slides. For a very early overview, see the two-page [15]proposal (in OBT ʼ17) and the accompanying [16]slides.

Penrose is an early-stage system that is still in development. Weʼre building it as fast as we can. If you follow the [17]repository and join the mailing list, youʼll be the first to hear any news. Feel free to [18]get in touch.
