Migrated our Confluence LaTeX/math macro to Forge — WYSIWYG editor, no LaTeX syntax required, now Ru
Sharing a migration rather than a launch this time, but curious what people think of the trust angle.
Easy Math Equations (LaTeX/math formula macros for Confluence — inline and full display mode) has been running on Atlassian Connect since it first shipped, with its own Node server doing the rendering. That’s now gone: both macros are rebuilt on Atlassian Forge, equations render entirely inside Atlassian’s own infrastructure, and the app now qualifies for the Runs on Atlassian designation. Nothing left our servers before either, but now there’s no external server at all to ask about.
What it actually does, for anyone who hasn’t run into it: a WYSIWYG math-field editor (drag-free, type-as-you-go, no memorizing LaTeX commands) that also accepts raw LaTeX/MathML directly if you already know it. Inline mode for compact expressions inside a sentence, display mode for full-size equations, dark mode aware. Existing pages and licenses carried over automatically with the migration — no re-install, no broken equations.
The part I’m actually curious about: Runs on Atlassian and “your data never leaves Atlassian” is a meaningful claim for something like a reporting or automation app that touches real customer/business data — but is it a claim anyone cares about for a small utility macro like a math renderer? Genuinely unsure whether this is a real trust signal procurement teams check even at this scale, or whether I’m over-indexing on it because it’s easy to now say “yes” to.
This is a paid Forge app — disclosure, I’m the developer.
