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.

      “Select where you heard about typst”
      -> Fediverse

      Finally somewhere that actually has Fediverse as an option, this must be a good app.

      This, I also used to create a CV in typist, after a really frustrating experience with LaTeX and the difference is night and day.

      And the best part is that errors are actually understandable, so you can actually fix them

      Out of curiosity, what program are you using to write? I think I saw they have a web editor, but I there’s a neovim plugin (and maybe an LSP) as well I think.
