But what's the point ?
To end up with yet another shitty (because running inside a browser, in particular its interface) web app ?
Why not focus efforts into making a proper program (you know, with IBM menu bars and keyboard shortcuts), but with collaborative tools too ?
- jll29 8mo agoYou are right in pointing out that the Web browser isn't the most suitable UI paradigm for highly interactive applications like a scientific typesetting system/text editor. I have occasionally lost a paragraph just by accidental marking a few lines and pressing [Backspace]. But at the moment, there is no better option than Overleaf, and while I encourage you to write what you propose if you can, Overleaf will be the bar that any such system needs to be compared against.
- BlueTemplar 8mo agoOP is talking about developing an alternative to Overleaf. But they are still trying to do it inside a browser !
