         | writing and the data you're computing in the same place, having
         | a very high-resolution history of edits, using latex in course
         | management, using a Chromebook or other lightweight client, and
         | zero configuration support for PythonTex and R (knitr). Note
         | that some of these reasons for using JupyterLab or CoCalc are
         | things that https://www.overleaf.com/ doesn't provide.
