Overleaf withdrawal? Deep breaths! Check your priorities list! Helpful tip below to keep going, if you still want to...
With @overleaf.com down, here's a quick tip to keep working.
If you're already syncing overleaf with Dropbox, you can still find your files in Dropbox/Apps/Overleaf
Install the latex extension in vscode or download an editor like texstudio.
Should take 15 mins or less to get set up! #econsky
