We used Sharelatex for a while but Writelatex had better features so I reluctantly migrated despite liking the folks at Sharelatex & supporting their ideals. My tech decisions are driven by not just my own experience, but how my PhD students do as well. | |

BTW, those interested in truly, but feature-limited, multi-platform (that is, beyond only LaTeX) collaborative writing platform, might want to take a look at Authorea (see this post for more details). | |
| Dec 24, 2015 at 9:39 | comment | added | Aleksandr Blekh | @jakebeal: While people at Overleaf's open-source alternative ShareLaTeX continue to discuss on how to implement git integration or whether it's worth doing, in the first place, folks at closed-sourced Overleaf initiated relevant real-time collaborative editor open source project with git support. (to be continued) | |
| Dec 23, 2015 at 15:22 | comment | added | jakebeal | This is my standard solution for multi-institution LaTeX collaborations now, and the WYSIWYG interface of Overleaf means that even collaborators from normally non-LaTeX fields have been willing to work this way. One warning, though: Overleaf's backend appears to be proprietary and not actually git, and so many more sophisticated git tricks won't work with it. It also rejects file types that it doesn't believe are compatible with LaTeX. | |
