SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a fast and user-friendly LaTeX preview site following the downtime of mathb.in. Users express dissatisfaction with Overleaf due to its requirement for manual compilation. Alternatives such as QuickLaTeX are suggested, but they still require user interaction to render. The ideal solution would automatically render LaTeX code with minimal user input, similar to the functionality of mathb.in.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX syntax and commands
  • Understanding of online LaTeX editors
  • Basic knowledge of TeX editors like TeXstudio
  • Experience with AutoHotkey for command abbreviation
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore QuickLaTeX for online LaTeX rendering capabilities
  • Research alternatives to Overleaf that offer automatic rendering
  • Investigate features of TeXstudio for enhanced productivity
  • Learn about AutoHotkey scripting for LaTeX command shortcuts
USEFUL FOR

LaTeX users, academic writers, and anyone seeking efficient online tools for LaTeX previewing and editing.

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.

You have to push the "render" button
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).
