After some exploration, I decided math through type theory and proof assistants seems like the most attractive option.

I am fascinated by proof assistants, for approximately the same reasons you are. I think it would be very worthwhile for someone to put a real useable UI on top of a proof assistant, and sell it as an aid for learning mathematics. Keep us updated about what you find out.

Yes, part of the reason I am interested in this topic is that math seems like it should be taught formally.
