User reviews
Could you update it so that it works with ShareLaTex? It's been the same web app as Overleaf since they merged.

Fixed the colors, back to 5 stars, thank you

I've used this for a long time and enjoyed it. It seems however recently something changed. The black is not as black and a lot of the text color for different formats are washed out and hard to distinguish. I don't know if this is being maintained, but I would love if it could be fixed again.
