consider integrating with overleaf.com?

[hcientist]

Overleaf is an online latex editor. Perhaps some of the users of osf.io already do some of their writing using overleaf, and maybe being able to launch the editor from osf or being able to list projects within some collection on overleaf on osf could be benefical?

Thanks for getting in touch @thegreatmichael! This is a great suggestion. We keep track of user feature requests to inform future development internally, so I'll add a note to our issue tracker there. We also welcome community contributions to the code, so if you (or someone you know!) might be interested in building an Overleaf add-on, I can help point you to some documentation and resources.

There is currently a group working on an integration with ShareLaTeX, another latex editor (https://github.com/CenterForOpenScience/osf.io/pull/4597)

ShareLaTeX recently merged with Overleaf https://www.sharelatex.com/blog/2017/07/20/sharelatex-joins-overleaf.html

Great opportunity to build on the past work to push the integration through!
