Show HN: TexLite – A lightweight self-hosted LaTeX workspace

TexLite is a lightweight, self-hosted LaTeX workspace that runs on a single Node.js process with SQLite and local files. It offers real-time collaborative editing, source-level comments, and a CodeMirror editor with LaTeX/BibTeX support. Features include folder organization, ZIP import/export, tagging, private citation libraries, optional Git/GitHub backups, and selectable TeX engines via latexmk. Installation requires Node.js 24+, latexmk, a TeX engine, or a Docker image for bundled dependencies.
