draw.io VS ShareLaTex

Never heard of Backlight Gem, sounds like a flashlight up your ass... Use this, it's free: https://www.drawio.com/

Just wanted to mention this here. You don't need a PC with lots of resources these days. Anything that can run a browser can also be used to edit images, create graphics, or even resumes. I think with those tools, you could even use a crappy library PC as long as it has a modern browser running.

Protip: get draw.io if you want to edit that file. Or just use the online https://www.drawio.com/ (previously diagram.net?)

On work, I use mostly tools like Draw.io and some colleges more Excalidraw (looks more fancy but less powerful). Those are easy tools to create a diagram with existing extensions for VScode. This helps to create an editable diagram which can be saved as an image. I like to use to save my draw.io file as a *.drawio.png file. So I can open it with draw.io to edit and when viewing the file from a browser, you see the PNG image. In this case, I never forget to export the latest state into my docs.

We get asked sometimes to add features to support new kinds of exports, e.g. to create network diagrams or to integrate with Home Assistant. Some time ago, we made the Fing Desktop and Fingbox Local API free for everybody to play with their device data locally. No cloud involvement, only local secret authentication needed.

https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/discussions/3309 asked here too, is this broken?

See https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/wiki/Getting-Support for official routes to get support.

Awesome! Next please add a collaborative/multiplayer mode ❤️ In every team you want to have the chance to work together on a flow diagram. Even draw.io does not support it until now, so if you get it working that would be huge news and a USP for Svelvet: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/issues/1396

Mostly open source... Here's the repo: https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf. But you can see what features are only available in the paid versions here

the linked repo is archived and it states, it has been merged into overleaf/overleaf

Thanks, I might need something like this sometime. There's also Overleaf's CLSI.

The Overleaf source code is available online [0], so you could even run your own instance.

I'd like to suggest Overleaf again since it seems to be exactly what you need. If you don't want to pay for more than one collaborator, you can actually host it yourself. You can add users and administrators as you like (you can also add an SMTP server to allow sending email invitations to collaborators).
