About this project

LetX is a real-time collaborative LaTeX editor built by Shihab Shahriar Antor at Shahriar Labs. It compiles LaTeX in the browser via WebAssembly, supports conflict-free real-time co-editing with CRDTs, and stays usable offline. Designed as a faster alternative to Overleaf for researchers, especially in regions with high latency to overseas servers.

Highlights

  • Browser-side WebAssembly compile (~0.4s for 10-page docs)
  • CRDT-based real-time collaboration without conflicts
  • Offline-first: keep writing without a network
  • 100% compatible with existing Overleaf projects
