Teable vs Typst: at a glance
What is Teable?
Teable adds Get Started guides to templates and shareable artifacts from the CLI.
Teable ships near-daily. Early November brought impact previews before schema changes, owner-run Routines, self-hosted app domains and a read-only MCP query tool, then filter-based bulk updates and structured queries in Pi sessions. The November 13 release adds interactive Get Started guides for templates, formula-based metrics in structured queries, artifact sharing links from the CLI and API, app previews as a selected user, multi-field record search, and halves the default concurrent Routine runs per space to 5.
What is Typst?
Typst keeps widening past PDF — first accessibility, now HTML, MathML and multi-file output
Typst reached 0.15 in June, adding variable font support, MathML-backed HTML equation export, multiple bibliographies per document, simultaneous PDF standard targeting, and an experimental bundle export target that lets one project emit multiple files. The 0.14 line before it made accessible PDFs the default and covered the full PDF/A range. Patch releases since have been font and math regression fixes.

8.8COLLAB
Teable adds Get Started guides to templates and shareable artifacts from the CLI.
◆ Current state
Teable ships near-daily. Early November brought impact previews before schema changes, owner-run Routines, self-hosted app domains and a read-only MCP query tool, then filter-based bulk updates and structured queries in Pi sessions. The November 13 release adds interactive Get Started guides for templates, formula-based metrics in structured queries, artifact sharing links from the CLI and API, app previews as a selected user, multi-field record search, and halves the default concurrent Routine runs per space to 5.
◆ Where it's heading
Teable is making its agent-facing pieces (queries, CLI, Routines) consistent with the rest of the product: query expressions now reuse formula syntax, and CLI commands are regrouped with old ones deprecated. Templates with guided setup point toward packaging finished apps for others to install.
◆ Prediction
Expect the deprecated standalone CLI commands to be removed in the next release, as announced, and more template and app-sharing features built on the new guides.
Typst
2.5COLLAB
Typst keeps widening past PDF — first accessibility, now HTML, MathML and multi-file output
◆ Current state
Typst reached 0.15 in June, adding variable font support, MathML-backed HTML equation export, multiple bibliographies per document, simultaneous PDF standard targeting, and an experimental bundle export target that lets one project emit multiple files. The 0.14 line before it made accessible PDFs the default and covered the full PDF/A range. Patch releases since have been font and math regression fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line across both majors is output surface. Typst started as a typesetting system that produced a PDF; it now produces conformant, accessible, standard-tagged PDFs and is building a credible HTML path with real equation rendering and multi-page bundling. Each major has picked one output format and made it a first-class target rather than an export afterthought.
◆ Prediction
The bundle target is flagged experimental, so the next cycle most likely stabilises it and extends HTML export coverage rather than opening a third output format.
