For example, if I want to collaborate on making a (non-computer related) textbook with someone, and we want to use git as a version control system. Should we use github/codeberg for this or is there a platform that’s more suitable for using git in nontechnical contexts?


awesome thanks
You can also use typst. It’s a modern alternative for LaTeX.
oh interesting never heard of it. are there any advantages over using LaTeX?
LaTeX has been around for a lot longer, and Typst is one of the projects looking to replace it
Typst is a lot more intuitive and easier to use, but it might be missing some packages and tools that were designed for LaTeX.
For your purposes, I think it would work just fine
interesting thanks
