ShareLaTeX is an online LaTeX editor which allows for real time collaboration and online compiling of projects to PDF format.[2] Unlike the similar service writeLaTeX, ShareLaTeX requires registration and all projects are inherently private. The site follows the freemium pricing model, offering more advanced features such as more than two collaborators, change history, and Dropbox synchronization to paying customers.[3] In February 2014, the software was released as free/open source software, allowing users to set up full installations in their own servers.[4]

Technical architecture

ShareLaTeX uses Node.js written in CoffeeScript with data stored in MongoDB and Redis.[5]

ShareLaTeX is able to integrate R. It has integrated the Knitr package. [6]
