🏗️ Architecture

SynthTeX follows a monorepo architecture with three main services:

1. Frontend - Next.js application with real-time LaTeX editing and preview
2. Backend - FastAPI service handling authentication, project management, and AI agent interactions
3. Compiler - Background worker service that compiles LaTeX documents to PDF using sandboxed environments
