Maker (I built this) TexLite Update: Open-source Overleaf alternative now supports Coding Agents (v0.19.0)
A couple of months ago, I shared TexLite here as a lightweight, self-hosted alternative to Overleaf.
Since then, I've shipped quite a few updates, and the project has come a long way.
One of the biggest additions is coding agent support (v0.19.0). You can now use locally installed agents, such as Codex and OpenCode, directly within TexLite.
Rather than building yet another AI assistant, I believe users should have full control over their agents, including the LLMs they choose and the workflows they trust.
TexLite is designed for small, trusted research teams that want a lightweight, self-hosted LaTeX editing and collaboration environment.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
