For me it’s the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they’re being spied. Here’s the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won’t use it or haven’t used it in a while.
They, whoever it is, can’t really spy on you on something that’s already off and unplugged!
Well yes but overleaf makes it possible to work on it with a mate, on any device without having to install anything, and it also saves your progress online so you don’t lose it or forget you document at home.
If your not seeing were i’m going it’s perfect for school project. Through high school and college i’ve done all my projects with it… I think that’s where it shines.
I understand using it for collaboration. But I see people write their homework in it. They’re not collaborating with anyone.
Also, these people use it all the time. I understand using Overleaf if you only use LaTeX rarely, since you don’t need to set anything up.
I personally edit offline, and copy to Overleaf if I need to collaborate.
Yeah to be fair if you do all the homework with LaTeX there’s no reason not to set up your machine.
I’ve even heard of someone who even used it to take notes in class… Honestly I wouldn’t dare to try and learn that!
But yes, that’s when the macros and possibilities you don’t have on overleaf becomes really good to have.
