A modern collaborative LaTeX and Markdown editor optimised for human collaboration, featuring a reasonable AI writing assistant, integrated reference management, local file editing, built-in provenance and more.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm the maker of TeXposit, a collaborative LaTeX editor built for academic writing.
I built this because writing with LaTeX can be a lot better than it currently is. All the cryptic errors, no platform offering free real-life unlimited collaboration, clunky reference management and AI agents that were just afterthoughts and plague science with their hallucinations.
TeXposit fixes all of this and takes it all a step further, and I would to invite you to play around with it at app.texposit.com/try.
Here's a quick rundown of why you should try TeXposit if you like writing with markdown, LaTeX or both.
It can edit files directly on your computer, making it super easy for TeXposit to fit into your workflow.
You can write your LaTeX document in Markdown, even with a visual editor, when you just want to take quick notes. Well, but Markdown doesn't support x/y... guess what!!! Our .tex.md hybrid files supports references and latex snippets inside Markdown.
You can collaborate with as many other people as you want. No limits on collaboration.
You compile your project as often as as you want. Unlimited fast compiles.
A reasonable AI assistant. It looks for sources instead of guessing. It prefers helping you do a good work rather than doing the work for you. It can import references, but it cannot write them. Bye, hallucinated references!
You can use your own Ollama server to power our AI assistant. AI sovereignty for all!
Other key features like provenance or the shared material bank are already available but will be introduced in-depth later.
I would really love your feedback. What's the most annoying part of your current LaTeX workflow? How could TeXposit help you write easier, faster, and most importantly: better? That's exactly what I want to hear about today.
The software can still contain a few bugs 🐛 so let's stay in touch on the Discord server.
TeXposit is served from Germany for now and those who live far away may experience slower loading times for now, apologies for that!
Finally a LaTeX editor that doesn't feel like it's from 2005. The inline preview actually keeps up with my keystrokes, and the reference manager pulling from my local bib file was a nice surprise.
@egemencioljzcj Thank you Egemen! The reference management system is one of my personal favourite features, I found it hard to go back to editors without it after using it. 😄
Love that there's real local file editing, that was a dealbreaker for me with Overleaf. One feature I'd love to see is a built-in diff/merge view for handling conflicting edits when multiple people work on the same section offline, kind of like GitHub's web editor but tailored for LaTeX so it handles equation environments cleanly.
