Official website: https://www.overleaf.com
Overleaf is an online tex rendering website. The configuration of the tex environment is cumbersome and not friendly enough for novices (especially in Windows), but overleaf is a good alternative. You just need to choose a nice template, and it will be very convenient to write assignments or small papers of less than 10 pages. Overleaf also provides the basic teamwork function, which can be edited by multiple people through links or invitations. The free version of Overleaf has a maximum compilation time and a limited set of features. For more complex projects, consider paying for more features.
