    TeXstudio is a fully featured LaTeX editor. Our goal is to make writing LaTeX documents as easy and comfortable as possible.

  • I use TeXstudio [1], which is really good with tables, and supports macros which tremendously help speed up the writing process.

    When writing for group projects, we use Overleaf. Its Git feature also makes it possible to write locally in TeXstudio and then push the changes to Overleaf.

  • DPS-LaTeX

    DPS LaTeX Template

  • I made good experiences with VScode + LaTeX Workshop extension. Here is an example project that should be fully set up.

    However, I also do want to state that I ditched LaTeX completely by now since there is just too much headache involved. I am sticking with Markdown and HTML+CSS for the most part; weasyprint is really helpful when I have to generate PDFs.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • texlab

    An implementation of the Language Server Protocol for LaTeX

  • I use overleaf these days mostly because overleaf makes it effortless to work across multiple machines. I still have my neovim + texlab [1] setup just in case though.
