Crixet is a free, web-based LaTeX editor in beta, designed for creating scientific documents such as academic papers, theses, and technical reports.[1] Launched as an alternative to platforms like Overleaf, Crixet offers real-time collaboration, an integrated AI assistant, and a user-friendly interface that requires no software installation.[1] The platform operates entirely in the browser, with support for Google Chrome and compatibility with local file storage.[2]
Features
[edit]Crixet provides several features to streamline LaTeX document creation: - AI Assistant: An embedded AI tool helps users generate, refine, and troubleshoot complex LaTeX code, accessible via a shortcut (⌘ + K or Ctrl + K). It supports tasks like formatting equations and creating charts.[1] - Real-Time Collaboration: Users can share projects, add comments, and collaborate with team members, making it suitable for group projects.[1] - Local and Hosted Projects: Users can store projects on Crixet’s servers for easy sharing or work offline using local folders.[2] - Fast Compilation: Crixet claims faster incremental compilation compared to some competitors, using WebAssembly-based LaTeX engines like pdftex and bibtex.[1] - Table Editor: A user-friendly interface for creating and editing tables, noted for its flexibility.[3]
History
[edit]Crixet was launched in beta and announced on platforms like Reddit in October 2024.[4] It has gained attention for its speed and AI-driven features, with updates shared by its developer, including a table editor widget introduced in January 2025.[3] The platform remains in active development, focusing on enhancing user experience and adding new tools.[1]
Reception
[edit]Crixet has been discussed in online communities, particularly among LaTeX users, for its potential as a faster and more flexible alternative to Overleaf.[4] Some users have praised its auto-compilation and table editor, noting its utility for academic writing, such as PhD theses, due to its local storage and collaboration features.[3] The platform is primarily supported on Google Chrome during its beta phase.[2]
Technical Details
[edit]Crixet runs on a browser-based environment using WebAssembly to compile LaTeX code.[1] It does not automatically include necessary LaTeX packages (e.g., pgfplots for charts), requiring users to add them manually to the document preamble.[1] The platform supports importing projects from Overleaf, facilitating transitions for existing users.[1]
