TexLite – A lightweight self-hosted LaTeX workspace
TexLite: Lightweight self-hosted collaborative LaTeX editor and Overleaf alternative - SWUFE-DB-Group/TexLite
In plain words
TexLite is a lightweight, self-hosted collaborative LaTeX editor designed for small research teams as an alternative to Overleaf. It leverages existing LaTeX distributions without requiring complex infrastructure, giving teams control over capacity, TeX updates, data location, and collaboration workflows. TexLite is best suited for groups prioritizing self-hosting and data control over a managed service, with compilation speed dependent on the host system and document complexity.

A lightweight self-hosted alternative to Overleaf for small, trusted research teams. Use your existing LaTeX distribution, with no heavyweight service stack. Overleaf is a strong choice when its hosted product or broader ecosystem is the right fit. TexLite addresses a narrower self-hosted use case: Self-hosting does not make every document compile faster: that still depends on the host and the document. It does give the team control over capacity, TeX updates, data location, and the collaboration workflow. For a desktop-first, individual workflow, start with VS Code + LaTeX Workshop or TeXstudio instead. TexLite is purpose-built for shared browser writing, not a replacement for a personal…from github.com

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
