Authorea is a platform that allows you to edit in LaTeX, richtext, or markdown. Therefore, you can upload an existing word document (i.e. from Google Docs or Microsoft Word) or an LaTeX file to Authorea, edit it, and download in various formats. There are also thousands of starter templates, including templates for research documents, LaTex documents, journal articles, or even interactive documents.
Each Authorea document can be linked to a GitHub repository, which enables you to add data to a figure in your document, bring source code or other supplementary material into you document, or create interactive figures with HTML, CSS, SVG, or Javascript.
Basic plans (up to 3 private documents) and student/educator plans (up to 10 private documents) are available in addition to premium plans, which provide unlimited documents, unlimited collaborators, and more data storage.
The following video is a brief and fun introduction to Authorea's goals and capabilities.
