Comment: The draft heavily relies on a single source (overleaf). Also, vimeo and reddit are user-generated content, which could not establish notability. WikiAviator (talk) 15:45, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
Comment: Fails WP:NORG - lacks significant coverage on multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Blogsites, Vimeo, press releases and interview with the founder (Reddit) are not acceptable or reliable independent sources. Dan arndt (talk) 09:01, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

Overleaf, formerly WriteLaTeX[1][2] is an open-source collaborative, cloud-based LaTeX editor used for writing, editing and publishing scientific documents. It partners with a wide range of scientific publishers to provide official journal LaTeX templates, and direct submission links.[3][4][5]
Overleaf was co-founded in 2012, by John Hammersley and John Lees-Miller. Both are mathematicians and were inspired by their own experiences in academia to create a better solution for collaborative scientific writing.[6][7]
Overleaf is a privately held company run by its two founders. The company received strategic investment from Digital Science in 2014, after being part of the Bethnal Green Ventures accelerator programme in 2013.[8]. Overleaf won Innovative Internet Business at the 2014 Nominet Internet Awards[9], and featured 99th in SyndicateRoom's 2018 list of Britain's top 100 fastest-growing business.[10]
On January 14th 2016, Overleaf founder John Hammersley took part in a Reddit AMA on the r/science subreddit.[11]
On July 20th, 2017, Overleaf acquired ShareLaTeX, to create a combined community of over two million users.[12] Overleaf V2 combined original features from both into a single cloud-based platform hosted at overleaf.com.
In March 2019, Overleaf reached over 4 million users worldwide.[13] Customers include universities, including Harvard[14][15][16] and MIT[17][18][19], alongside research institutions such as CERN.[20][21]
Overleaf is available as an on-premise solution for enterprise companies. It is locally installed for businesses who want to host their data inside their firewalls on local servers.
