Just wanted to drop in and sing my praises of this service and team (WriteLatex/Overleaf). I am currently a grad student and have been using this for ~3 years and it is my absolute go-to for HW, resume, reports, project papers, etc. It is also simple to add collabs which makes it great for team projects too.

The new addition of conference/journal templates and integrated spell check is really opening it up to a broader audiences than just CS-centric users.

My friend (with very little coding experience) saw my resume and asked for help to craft his own. I sent him overleaf.com and a template and he was able to get started with LaTeX in their side-by-side environment and was able to add his own content very easily. I know without this service it would have been a headache setting up LaTeX for him locally and walking him through it, so props to the overleaf team for abstracting the tech this way.
