  • Alternative to Overleaf
    Have a look : https://kile.sourceforge.io/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • flowcv.io - the best free and straightforward CV builder
    Regardless, both latex and all the latex editors I've used (including overleaf) are not wysiwyg, but they tend to have both a source pane and a document preview pane that makes quickly editing nicer. I generally use Kile (good screenshot). Source: about 2 years ago

  • My uses for vimwiki have dried up... and it makes me a little sad
    I use vimwiki almost daily, but it's not professional use, just daily notes and organizing my life. I started using zim but I found I really missed writing/editing with vim. Then I found vimwiki. There are things I'm not super happy about with it.

  • Note Taking Applications, Beyond the Doc
    Definitely get vimtex and set it up so you can view the compiled document in one window, and your notes in the other. Get used to vim a bit with some vim tutorial (there are a bunch out there), and have latex shortcuts you use in all your documents. Source: 11 months ago
  • I like Tabasco.
    I do think VSCode is a great tool and I recommend it frequently to people, but I still want to set the record straight here. Yes, vim is obviously limited in the sense that as a CLI app it doesn't draw it's own PDF or HTML windows, that's fair. But it can remote control your favorite PDF viewer or browser for roughly the same functionality. I'm currently writing my thesis using vimtex and it's quite smooth. And... Source: 12 months ago
  • Is there a way to render advanced latex on Obsidian?
    Obsidian is limited by its use of markdown files. You can use Overleaf, Vimtex, or LaTeX workshop on VS Code to render your tex documents. Source: 12 months ago
  • What are all the accepted "inner" motion arguments?
    Some language-specific plugins like vimtex also include their own text objects. Source: about 1 year ago
