Here at Overleaf, your voice is important! ❤️ That’s why each year we conduct a very special study: our product survey! This year we wanted to understand a bit more about who our users are, their goals, as well as what impact our product and its features have on the community.

In just 10 days time Overleaf will be nine years old! Nine! It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a decade since John and I had our first conversations about WriteLaTeX that set us on the path that has led us to this point.

And in the run up to that particular milestone, another one has crept up on us…

As I write this in Charlottesville, Virginia, temperatures are still above 90F/32C, but believe it or not, the fall term is upon us here in the US. The Overleaf Support team has put together some Back to School suggestions to help your school year get off on the right foot.

One year ago, we reached the milestone of having six million total registered users worldwide. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

One year on, and two million more of you have started using Overleaf! 🎉🎉

Just a few weeks ago in June, the eight millionth user registered for an account on Overleaf, as the LaTeX community continues to grow and expand. We’ve also seen peaks of over 400k daily active users in 2021, which is another record!

This is amazing, and we’d like to send a message of thanks to everyone who uses, shares, collaborates upon, and champions Overleaf! You’re all fantastic!

We are extremely proud to share the exciting news that Paulo Reis (Overleaf), John Lees-Miller (Overleaf), and Sven Laqua (Digital Science) have been awarded the SIGCHI Best Case Study Award at the ACM CHI2021 Conference for their case study on “Merging SaaS Products In A User-Centered Way - A Case Study of Overleaf and ShareLaTeX”.
