I’m currently writing a report in using Overleaf. As I’m getting the premium version for free through my Uni, I’ve had no problems so far. Now I’m working in a place with unstable internet and using Overleaf has become very annoying.
Are there some good FOSS alternatives out there, preferably where I can just upload my Project.zip and continue working offline? I have no need to collaborate with anyone or anything like that.
Currently I’m looking at LyX, but I’d be happy to hear about your experiences with that or other programs.
Texmaker is my go-to offline LaTeX editor. In addition, use JabRef for bibliography management and you’ll live happily ever after.
Combine with git and you now have a good way of keeping track of changes as well of you have to collaborate with others.
Geez you really can use git for everything
Jabref is so great, but do read the documentation when you start. Its easy to use without reading any of it, but there’s so much functionality beyond the basics that I just found out recently, and makes it so much easier to use!
