Why don't you use a simple TeX editor?

I use https://texstudio.org/ together with https://www.autohotkey.com/ to abbreviate most regular commands by shortcuts.

I need something quick available online since I work on several places with different computers. Some of which I can not install any external software on.

I tried one and - surprise, surprise - immediately ran into compilation errors, i.e. a missing library.

mathb.in was great in that way that once you stopped tying something, after 0.2 seconds or something, it automatically rendered it.

Also, it had a share option, it could generate at web-link that I could share with people instead of sending the actual code

And you could zoom in and out to get desired size

The link is there, and changing sizes is possible under options.

It works for me (IP from Romania, FF 102.0.1 (64 bits), Windows7).
