If we want to change things we have to think about what effect it will have on everyone else. Backwards compatibility becomes a bigger issue. People run ShareLaTeX in all sorts of different setups and environments which our changes can conf

We didn't start charging until we had been live for about 10 months, this is where it went from a cool side project to realising that we had something here. Once we started charging we were making a tiny amount of money straight away b
