I’m currently writing a report in using Overleaf. As I’m getting the premium version for free through my Uni, I’ve had no problems so far. Now I’m working in a place with unstable internet and using Overleaf has become very annoying.

Are there some good FOSS alternatives out there, preferably where I can just upload my Project.zip and continue working offline? I have no need to collaborate with anyone or anything like that.

Currently I’m looking at LyX, but I’d be happy to hear about your experiences with that or other programs.

    Out of curiosity, what program are you using to write? I think I saw they have a web editor, but I there’s a neovim plugin (and maybe an LSP) as well I think.

      I use VScodium with some plugins. But writing in any editor and running the typst executable with the “watch” argument is also an option. That way as soon as you overwrite the source file a new PDF is generated. In that case I use Okular which auto refreshes when the open document changes.
