WebLaTex is a self-hosted, browser-based LaTeX editing environment built on VS Code and GitHub Codespaces/dev containers, bundling TeX Live, Git integration, GitHub Copilot, Grammarly/LanguageTool grammar checking, and live collaboration. It serves as a complete alternative to Overleaf for writing papers, journals, and resumes.
Use cases

- overleaf alternative with vscode
- collaborate on latex documents in real time
- grammar check my latex documents

When to choose
