Most researchers / students I know who are "power-users" of TeX have fairly idiosyncratic editing habits, so it would be nice to support `\newcommands` or eventually editor bindings. (I write a lot of "live-TeX" during lectures for school: https://github.com/acganesh/stanford-compendium, and I have one-character `vim` macros for each symbol). I ended up opening a `vim` pane and copying my TeX over to Chrome.
I know Evan Chen (MIT grad student) is a really prolific live-TeXer, so you might try contacting him for feedback. I'm a huge fan of this project of his: https://github.com/vEnhance/napkin.
I really like the visual equation recognition, sort of like a beefed up DeTeXify. It's very helpful to ensure that all "equivalent" TeX commands are matched appropriately.
Supporting custom macros seems hard, but we should be able to fix spacing problems if we revamp the comparison logic entirely. Thanks for filing the Github issues -- we definitely welcome any contributions, so let us know if you have any ideas!
Also, we're friends with Evan and have already gotten his feedback. :)

I think there are some gotchas with space matching (I opened a few GitHub issues, e.g. https://github.com/akshayravikumar/TeXnique/issues/7), but these should be fixable.
Feel free to contact me if I can help! Sounds like a really fun project.
