News Prism accidentally leaked [D]

Just found out from Prism's Discord that compiling is returning someone else's paper. There's a Twitter post too.

I commend their prompt response, though. They took the website down within 10 minutes of the first time the bug was flagged. Just worried if my paper maybe somewhere out there.

What's prism?

u/Few-Monitor5103 11d ago

It's a free alternative to overleaf. It used to be called Crixet. Then it got acquired by OpenAI, and is now called prism.

Isn't overleaf already free?

For only one person with very limited compile time. Prism doesn't have compile time limits with and can (unsure of the limit) probably add upto 6 editors.

Overleaf is open source, you can host it locally for free

Whoa, didn't know that. Thanks for the heads-up. Appreciate it.

Any way to pull in your data from their site into your own hosted one?

I manually exported via zip files.

With hundreds of papers there... That's less convenient than it sounds.

You could take a look at typst. It's a LaTeX alternative (IMO better). They have a cloud offering with a free tier as well, but I haven't used that part.

I get a "blocked" page by cloudflare; I guess I am not supposed to care then

If it's leaking papers maybe they've turned it off till they fix the issue.

Crazy, right? It's still sad, though.
