AI Thread Summary
Users are seeking a fast and user-friendly LaTeX preview site similar to mathb.in, which is currently down. Overleaf is mentioned but criticized for requiring manual compilation. QuickLaTeX is suggested as an alternative, though it still requires clicking a "render" button. The original appeal of mathb.in included automatic rendering and easy sharing options. The discussion highlights the need for a quick online solution without installation requirements.

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).
