Real Time LaTeX Collaboration Online

They did just roll out syntax completion for some of the common items (begin, subsection, subsubsection), and their new 'split screen' feature is rather nice.

I do see it on HN often as well....

I would be interested to know the advantages of this compared to working on a file in a shared git or svn depository?

You don't need to learn git/svn and you do not need to setup a repository.

I think the most important thing is you don't have to setup the compiler yourself. It may get out of hand pretty quickly if your partners and you don't have compatible environments (Windows vs. Linux, etc.).

Oh, I forgot about that! Of course!

Hey creator of ShareLaTeX here, we didn't post on here (again) but we have been releasing a lot of new stuff since the last time the site was on the home page about 1 year ago to the day. Split view, command auto complete, multiple compilers and history are all done. Spell check, git integration and dropbox sync are just around the corner.

The main thing that has happend is merging with http://www.scribtex.com with both of us now working on ShareLaTeX full time.

Thank you for all the support and feedback we have been receiving, its been wonderful, please keep letting us know what you think!
