  As an alternative to Overleaf, I found Crixet to be quite useful. It appears to be based on WASM and has fewer usage restrictions.

  Trusting LaTeX to automatically distribute tables and figures produces not-very-readable documents with tables and figures interrupting content (e.g. page 12).> The default LATEX compiler in both cases will likely be pdfLaTeX, and to make things smooth, we will stick with that. However, note that there are the more powerful XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX, which can be a suitable choice for advanced users.> XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX As a remark, if the document will be mainly in Chinese/Japanese/Korean or any other non-Latin language in general, then it may be more beneficial to just switch to the XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX compiler since they directly support UTF-8 encoded text. However, we will keep ourselves to the default pdfLaTeX compiler to avoid complications.This is just FUD. XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX do not introduce any "complications" and are not only for "advanced users". Switching is easy, and programs without any Unicode support should simply not be used these days.

  So many .sty (but not only) files to download elsewhere.Maybe it's better to include them in the repository itself.Once all the files downloaded, I run into several compiling errors.

  typst is so much nicer than latex, although unfortunately a lot of universities/publishers still accept only latex.
