    Very mature online LaTeX editor

    Date: Feb 26 2022
    Summary

    For writing scientific documents, especially in the field of natural sciences, You probably won't come around LaTeX. Overleaf is just an easy browser-based method for all who don't want to install a LaTeX software on their device and/or want to stay flexible in which device they are using. I find the free plan very generous and absolutely sufficient to accomplish even a big project like a Master or PhD thesis.

    Positive

    Overleaf is an online LaTeX editor, which makes it easy to write LaTeX independent of the device You are using.

    The free plan offers all You need to write beautiful and very precise customizable document layouts. You would have all Your projects in a user friendly web interface, where You can organize them in folders and assign labels.

    Another pro in my opinion would be that they offer special prices for students and groups of students.

    Negative

    Version Control for longer than one session is only possible in the paid plan, as well as Git/GitHub or DropBox integration.

    If you are starting from scratch, You will have to invest some time in learning how to equip yourself with the necessary packages and get handy in typing the basic commands. The best way of doing this would be to get hands on your project with the help of one of the templates overleaf offers (CV, formal letter, paper, book, etc.).
