Dear #Overleaf do you really need me to do 5 captchas to login? Can I start getting paid for doing them, as I am now highly proficient in identifying motorcycles in South Asia.
Overleaf users: does anyone know how to generate an output PDF where the text is highlighted according to the contributor’s name? This is on Overleaf Premium and it feels like someone, somewhere has probably done this already…. #overleaf #git #astrodon #exoplanets #academicwriting

#Overleaf slopified?

@naoEhAlexa eu nunca entendi porque o #overleaf tem toda essa popularidade. A menos que o arquivo precise ser compartilhado por muitas pessoas, eu sempre prefiro usar uma instalação local do #LaTeX, que me deixa com controle total da situação.

We (CompSci/Engineering folks which have no issue in principle with LaTeX) had a bit of a discussion of buying an #Overleaf subscription or license, which I’m highly critical of, partially because nobody could tell me yet how much it costs.

Oh, and which problem it solves. “Everybody else is using it” also applies to cocaine, so it’s mostly not having git merge conflicts, it’d seem. No one seems to be using simultaneous editing, though.

Investigation ongoing. @teamtype + LaTeX when? 😇

FR - Bidouillage sur mon @yunohost . Au passage, je découvre @fiduswriter , orienté rédaction de collaboration académique. Sorte d'alternative à #overleaf , sans l'utilisation de #LaTeX. Certain.e.s l'utilisent par ici ?

EN - Tinkering with my instance at [email protected]. By the way, I just discovered [email protected], which is geared toward collaborative academic writing. It’s sort of an alternative to #Overleaf, but without the need for #LaTeX. Does anyone here use it?

Hey Fedi #academicchatter / #research people,

What are you using (or considering) as Overleaf alternatives? The writing has been on the wall with overleaf in terms of enshitification for a while now, and I'd rather have a headstart. Also, I am not publishing or reviewing with Elsevier/RELX, so should get rid of Overleaf at some point anyhow.

I've dabbled in hosting https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf myself, but I'd rather pay an ok company to stand up this type of tooling for me, to be honest.

I’m happy to share that I’ve successfully completed a three-day intensive workshop on Professional Scientific Documentation Using LaTeX.
Learning to leverage LaTeX for high-quality technical documentation is a game-changer. I'm looking forward to applying these skills to my future research and projects.
A big thank you to the Free Students Union (FSU), Tri-Chandra Multiple Campus.

omg so recently I started messing with #overleaf more, and I've been writing some of my lecture notes for several different classes on it and OMG... I LOVE LaTEX! I wish I learned this sooner. I'm currently writing a personal Calculus 2 exam review sheet to help summarize the last chapter and study with, and overleaf makes everything look SO NICE, it looks like i'm writing a textbook lmao
There are some things you can dislike about #Overleaf but i absolute love that they have good, readable #latex documentation which is not published as weird formatted pdf document, which can be a pain to read. And good common examples as well.
