sshlatex VS pandoc-markdown-latex-pdf

Remember that TeX is fundamentally code. There are tens of millions of programmers and others who need to write code or text, and there are hundreds of editors and thousands of plugins and tutorials for doing so. These editors are configurable from the minimalism to which computer should compile the LaTeX and back.

I tend to use Google Drive to host things I share with people who are not tech savvy enough to use git (or things I just want to be accessible via a hyperlink). I actually have a Google Colab notebook that syncs a Google drive folder with a git repo (& vice versa) that I can share with you if you're interested. I find that keeping it synced between both makes it much easier for me to access my writing (with the bonus that it's backed up in a minimum of 3 places, 2 of which are offsite). I'm also in the process of setting up a repo that uses GitHub actions & pandoc/LaTeX to automatically typeset my Markdown files into a PDF. Basically I'm trying to automate as much of the fiddly technical bullshit so I can focus on the creativity side of things.
