A Simple PDF Word Counter

Instead of using Overleaf, I typically write my latex documents locally, in VSCode or Zed, with a local tex engine running. The issue is that there isn’t (AFAIK) an easy-to-use, local way to do this. texcount exists, but is a bit tricky to set up and specify which sections to count, so I just wanted a tool where I can slap the finished pdf in and get a decent estimate of my wordcount. The visual breakdown per section is pretty helpful also.

The program is on github here, where there are acomponying install instructions, but it should be pretty straight-forward.
