A solution that I have been thinking about is to use .dev-containers and GitHub codespaces.

The pros are:

  • The default image does to count on the storage billing, we only need to pip install the requirements on top (30sec bring up at most?).
  • Billing is done at the contributor end, which has a generous free quote.
  • After bring up, adoc serve can be called automatically, providing a live preview.
  • Additional enforcing-rules/linting can be auto set up.
  • Offload all the trouble of "doing the same" with a traditional web service (like wordpress, confluence, with all the logins and permission management)

Cons:

  • Users may forget to kill their codespaces instances and be accidentally billed?
  • Non-commited changes older than 30+ may be lost due to the automatic codespace deletion.

The result would be something fairly similar to overleaf.
