That’s nice, but this project seems very dead, or am I missing something?

What are you using it for? Did you publish anything written in typst? Edit: this is a genuine question.

There are a lot of typos in this book. Are you looking for someone to proofread? Great work btw

Under every single LaTeX themed post there is someone suggesting typst. Why use something open, if you can use something proprietary? /s

You are correct, LaTeX isn’t very fast in general, but my 8 core ryzen server with 8GB of ram assigned to the vm running overleaf is usually twice as fast as the official overleaf unpaid tier. The specs you listed should produce much better results than the official overleaf. This seems weird to me.

As an example, I just compiled my thesis, which is about 60 pages, lots of references, pictures, and generally a heavy document. On my server it takes about 35 seconds, the official overleaf just times out (pay or we won’t compile your document).

I see, you probably had to change the overleaf config file? I feel it’s too much work to keep it updated and running, on my Linux server. But the official overleaf is just too slow. It struggles to compile 30 page documents, and i have several that are longer. How does it run for you on your windows computer, with the local installation? What are the specs of your machine?

Idk when you did it, but with the overleaf toolkit, at least the docker networking seems to be no problem. I had quite some problems with updating though. I run an outdated version at the moment because texlive gets updated faster than overleaf, which produces errors when installing the texlive full package. Overall, also can’t recommend.

I can never remember which is which

Do you really do Alt+C and Alt+P for copy paste? I usually press Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V

I just assume you are in the US and i can’t speak for the situation there. Here in the EU there are plenty of options. Sure it’s a bit more expensive sometimes, but often times it’s not.

And the convenience, I get it. Amazon customer support is unbeatable. From what I hear it is getting worse, though.

For me in the EU it is possible, but sometimes a struggle. The ideological thing makes it worth it for me, and if there are more and more people that don’t use Amazon (as often), there may be a time when it dies.

The only items I bought on Amazon since coronavirus hit are a phone charger, some shirts that aren’t available anywhere else and a pedal for a sewing machine.

So I can’t tell you an alternative the alternative you are looking for, but for me it is a lot of small to large online stores and some offline stores as well. There isn’t quite something as convenient that has virtually everything out there, afaik.

Or, here’s a crazy idea: don’t shop on amazon at all.

Europe != EU. UK is not in the EU.

What’s really creepy is, Linus let’s his employees and wife model in underwear to peddle his merch. I mean, what’s the job description there? You are a writer and an underwear model?
