Why We Rebuilt the LaTeX Editor for the Cloud Era
For 30 years, LaTeX editors have mimicked the desktop. You open a file, you type, you save. But research doesn't happen in files anymore. It happens in streams of data, chat, and version history.
The "Dropbox" Problem
Legacy editors treat your thesis like a `.tex` file on a hard drive. If two people save at once, someone loses work. This isn't just annoying; in 2026, it is unacceptable.
The LetX Engine
We built LetX on Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs). This is the same logic that powers Google Docs.
- Offline-First: You can keep typing if the Wi-Fi dies. We merge it when you reconnect.
- Atomic History: Every keystroke is versioned. You can replay the entire write-up of a paper to see who wrote what.
Beyond Text: The Research Stack
A modern editor must be more than a text area. It needs to be a dashboard. LetX integrates with Zotero for citations, GitHub for code, and Slack for notifications. It is the operating system for your lab.
Designed by Shahriar Labs for teams that ship papers, not just PDF files.
