DNS proxied through Cloudflare also provides free SSL certificates!↩
iCloud Drive is not really end-to-end encrypted, and by the nature of Apple services, any trouble with one service can lead to suspension of the whole account.↩
TexpadTeX (Texpad's $\LaTeX$ distribution) provides near realtime incremental compilation. I prefer it to Overleaf since most significant writing happens before collaboration. Most popular packages are supported.↩
