lattedit launches free local-first browser LaTeX editor with a JSON compile API for agents
cneuralnetwork · x · 2026-11-15
lattedit is a free local-first LaTeX editor in the browser: source and compiled PDF side by side, projects kept in-browser by default and exportable as ZIPs. It supports pdfLaTeX/XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX, BibTeX/Biber, syntax highlighting, command completion, structured compile logs, and accessible PDF preview; compilation runs in isolated short-lived workspaces with exact-repeat builds skipped. Beyond writing papers/resumes/theses and importing Overleaf ZIPs, it exposes an account-free JSON compile API aimed at software agents diagnosing LaTeX errors or compiling projects.
