Well, I just use Overleaf to do my LaTeX work on my iPad.
- SuperTachyon 7y agoWell. I’m glad that works for you.
- benrbray 7y agoIt seems the author wanted a solution that would work offline as well.
- wanderfowl 7y agoOverleaf's fine, but lack of offline editing, and more crucially, trusting my main working copy to live only on somebody else's computer, is a bit of a non-starter for me. Plus, call me an idealist, but it feels like a huge step back when a device requires a paid web service to do something that's completely free on a real computer. I don't know that "pay somebody else" should be hailed as the solution to "good software doesn't work on this device".
- gdsimoes 7y agoYou made a good point about offline editing but Overleaf's main reason for existing is precisely TeX software not being so good.
- pletnes 7y agoThe collaboration and sync tools are very useful, including performant editing by multiple authors at once.
- goerz 7y agoOverleaf has excellent offline support through its git interface (or Dropbox, if you prefer).
- goerz 7y agoThe Overleaf website is a bit painful to use on an iPad. Hopefully, this will change with the "desktop-grade" Safari announced for iOS 13. Maybe someone already running the beta could test this?
- AgloeDreams 7y agoI imagine it will be identical to Safari running on desktop. The Beta also gives you things like page scaling that you have on desktop so you can play with sizing if you like too.
