What TeXposit is
TeXposit is a collaborative web editor for LaTeX and Markdown, intended for academic writing such as papers, theses, and technical reports. Its browser-based LaTeX engine updates a preview as users type, while final PDFs are produced with a full TeX Live installation. Collaboration tools include multi-cursor editing, role-based access, inline comments and suggestions, and team chat. The optional AI assistant can use a project’s bibliography and document structure for writing and LaTeX help. Users may instead connect Ollama to run models on their own computer; the guide describes this as offline use without cloud data transfer or API costs. TeXposit supports Pandoc-flavored Markdown with citations, math, tables, and code blocks, plus GitHub Sync for backups or two-way syncing. The free plan includes unlimited projects and collaborators, AI assistance, full version history, and no compile timeouts. Local folder sync is documented for Chrome, Edge, and Safari, but not Firefox.
