It’s just much more lightweight than LaTeX and so you type things faster, but it can still handle LaTeX math and (using pdflatex) compile to both html and pdf. Markdown: I recently discovered markdown and particularly its pandoc flavored variety as a quick and easy way to write any technical document – lecture notes, homework assignments, blog posts, technical emails – that is not an actual paper. Update 4/29: Clement Canonne mentions in a comment the Gitobox project that synchronizes a dropbox folder and a git repository and so allows easier collaboration with your non-git-literate colleagues. To make this not blow up, I never use the same folder from two different computers and hence have subfolders “Laptop” and “Desktop” for the repositories used by these computers respectively. There are a number of reason why it’s a bad idea, but I find it too convenient to stop. I am also committing the cardinal sin of putting my git repositories inside my dropbox folder. As long as you do this frequently enough you should not have serious conflicts. The typical workflow is that you first pull updates, then make your edits, then commit and push them. The former updates the repository that is on your local machine and the latter synchronizes those changes with the remote repository. The most important thing is to realize that commit and push are two separate commands. Git can sound intimidating but it takes 5 minutes to learn if someone who knows it explains it to you. I found source tree to be an easy GUI to work with git, and (before I switched to overleaf) bitbucket to be a good place to host a git repository. Version control: I’ve mentioned git above, and this is the version control I currently use. I actually like the editor enough that I’ve even used it for standalone papers. It also means that authors that don’t want to use overleaf (but can use git) can still easily collaborate with those that do.

This means that you can also work offline on your favorite editor and pull and push changes from/to the overleaf repository. One of the features I like most about it is its git integration. There are few things as satisfying as watching improvements and additions being added to your paper as you’re reading it. It’s a web-based LaTeX editor that supports several people editing the same document simultaneously, so it’s great for multi-author projects, especially for those last days before the deadline where everyone is editing at once. LaTeX editor / collaboration platform: I recently discovered Overleaf which can be described as “Google Docs” for LaTeX. Please share your better tips in the comments:

This is obviously a very biased list and reflects my limitations as a Windows user that is too stupid to learn to use emacs and vim. In particular, are there tools or tricks that made a difference in your life as a theorist? The signal to noise ratio in that website is not particularly high, but I think it is a good idea to share tricks that can save time and effort. LifeHacker is a website dedicated to tricks, especially technology related, to make people more efficient or productive.
