Ask HN: What features matter in collaborative LaTeX tools?

by WolfOliver·10mo ago·2 comments·view on hn ↗
I've been exploring different LaTeX collaboration tools lately — Overleaf and some newer ones — and I’m curious what people here think are the most important features for collaborative LaTeX work.

For example:

- Real-time collaboration?

- Git or version control integration?

- Compilation speed and reliability?

- Offline editing or open-source options?

- Pricing and storage limits?

I’d love to hear from developers, students, and researchers. What do you think makes or breaks a collaborative LaTeX experience?

Your feedback will be used to improve the newly shipped LaTeX workspaces in MonsterWriter:

Personally I don't see the point, mathematical writing is slow, a shared git repository suffices.
I guess a lot of users do not want to deal with Git hence Overleaf is so successful.
