Math proof collaboration platform

Build a version-controlled workspace for collaborative theorem proving. For mathematicians adopting Lean.

Why now

Formal verification is gaining traction but lacks collaborative tooling.

Who for
mathematicians
Business model
academic licenses
Effort
A few months

Mathematicians working with proof assistants struggle to collaborate as effectively as with paper proofs.

A GitHub-like platform optimized for branching/merging mathematical proofs with AI-assisted consistency checking.

University math departments would pay for team subscriptions to support research groups.

Start with basic Lean integration and pull request functionality.

Risk: Narrow academic niche may limit growth.
