Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Wombat is a browser-based word processor that uses Typst to handle document structure, layout, numbering, and references.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-13 issue.

For: Thesis writers, researchers, and authors of structured documents
Worth noticing: The site describes each .wombat file as a ZIP containing HTML and images that can be read without Wombat.

Field notes

The editor’s central distinction is semantic: a writer marks a section, figure, or footnote, and the site says Typst handles the resulting layout and references. The homepage lists exports to PDF, DOCX, Typst, and HTML, and describes the .wombat file as a ZIP containing HTML and images. Separate Mac-app material mentions offline use and scanning printed pages; an App Store link is marked as coming soon.
