Typst: An easy to learn alternative for LaTex
I guess this is a competitor to services such as overleaf [1] and codimd [2]. Although this is yet another syntax, it seems to be supported by pandoc [3]. Lately, I have been using Quarto [4] more and more as I program in R, which also produces very nice outputs, especially HTML. But none of these solve the academic usage problems of (1) producing nice diffs for reviewers, and (2) can easily be shared with, and commented by, non-technical collaborators. Thus, I fear Word will be difficult to replace for many years, at least in my field, for scientific writing

Creating your own Latex editor using Overleaf source code.
Overleaf's license. I highly suggest reading point 10. I only skimmed it, but there are probably other pertinent details.
Look at the project license: https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf/blob/main/LICENSE
