dysmaths — Accessible Math Editor for Students with Learning Differences
adhoc
LOW
dysmaths is a browser-based math and geometry workspace built with Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, MathLive, and KaTeX. It targets students with dyspraxia and dysgraphia, replacing handwritten math with a structured visual editor. Features include a long division tool, multilingual support (next-intl), export/print, and PWA capability. The project is actively maintained (last commit 2026-03-23, 118 commits) with 44 stars and 2 forks. License is AGPL-3.0, which is a flagged license requiring legal review before any integration into a commercial product. The tool is specialized for K-12 educational accessibility and does not address document management, signing, or enterprise workflows.

ODS Impact
Relevance to ODS is low. The DocEditor shared service deals with document editing in an enterprise context, not math input. However, if ODS were to add math/formula rendering to DocEditor (e.g., for scientific contracts or reports), MathLive and KaTeX — the libraries underlying dysmaths — could be evaluated independently under their own permissive licenses (Apache-2.0 and MIT respectively). Adopting dysmaths directly is not recommended due to the AGPL-3.0 license, which would impose copyleft obligations on ODS's commercial SaaS product. The accessibility approach (structured input for users with motor difficulties) could inform UX decisions for DocSign desktop (Tauri/React), but no code integration is warranted.
