TeXlyre is a browser-based editor for LaTeX and Typst designed for academic institutions and researchers seeking alternatives to proprietary platforms, particularly in environments with limited connectivity or strict data governance requirements. It enables real-time collaboration without vendor lock-in, while keeping all user data in browser storage for complete data sovereignty and privacy. Documents compile directly in the browser using WebAssembly engines, supporting full offline editing and professional typesetting. Real-time collaboration is implemented via peer-to-peer connections that synchronize edits directly between participants, removing the need for centralized servers and reducing platform reliance. This funding will modernize TeXlyre’s compilation infrastructure by upgrading its WebAssembly-based LaTeX engines to support contemporary packages and LuaLaTeX. It will also develop Chelys, a companion local application providing access to Language Server Protocol integrations, local typesetting engines, and distributed storage.
