Also, I’d like to point out that Overleaf’s hosting and pricing options are quite reasonable, especially if you’re working for a university or institution: www.overleaf.com/user/subscription/plans
While I did take advantage of the free Overleaf Pro during my university days, I don’t have it anymore after graduating, and so I’m missing some features which their free tier doesn’t have.
By self-hosting I’m given better control, and all those features I once had before.
Also, the whole point of this community is to kind of avoid relying on third-party hosting, and especially paying for it too🙂
