I earn about 50% of my income from my business which currently includes https://LaTeXTemplates.com https://LaTeXTemplates.com and https://LaTeXTypesetting.com https://LaTeXTypesetting.com. In the coming months I'll be releasing a product in this space I've been working on for years so I'm pretty excited about that!
- mraza007 6y agoPretty cool man!! Do you create all the templates yourself or it’s community driven
- VelNZ 6y agoThanks! Most of the templates are existing ones people have made in the past, although I usually clean up the code quite a bit and make some design improvements. The site has been around since 2012 so I end up fixing bugs and making design improvements every few years. The great thing about LaTeX is it's relatively stable with few breaking changes with new releases.
- mraza007 6y agoYup I totally agree. I did came across this site when I was looking for Latex Templates especially for my resume. I am glad I met the founder today
- tartakovsky 6y agoCool! I stumbled upon your sites during my search for children's book templates last week. Fortunately for you, the only other template gallery I've found is on Overleaf and it's quite limited, so I'd imagine it's probably great for your typesetting service.
- VelNZ 6y agoThe Overleaf gallery is a grab bag of basically all templates that exist, whereas I try to enforce a consistent commenting style and generally only add high quality templates (at least for recent ones). I launched the site in 2012 while I was at university and was surprised there was no single repository of templates online at all at that point!
- xzel 6y agoYour typesetting website is absolutely gorgeous. I will totally keep it as a reference for beautifully simple websites. On the template front: this is exactly the type of resource I wish I had in college while learning and using Latex. Thank you for your contributions! I'm forwarding on to a few academic friends.
- VelNZ 6y agoThank you very much! It's actually just an HTML5 template from a site called pixelarity.com. I have no affiliation with them and I can highly recommend their templates as simple, clean and fast. I'm using that same design for my new product so it's very good to hear you like it.
- spondyl 6y agoWhile I understood absolutely none of the lower half of your about page, it's always great to see a fellow Aucklander here on HN!
- VelNZ 6y agoHaha I'm a long time lurker and infrequent commenter, I've yet to see anyone with HN open irl though, even when I worked as a dev for a year.
