Describe the feature
A rather far-future feature that would be very neat would be integration with the Overleaf cloud services. Overleaf currently provides a web-based editor that supports multiple people editing the same document and handles rendering the LaTeX documents to PDF on their servers (i.e. with a fixed container environment ensuring that dependencies are available consistently).
The web editor being what it is, it would be neat to be able to connect Zed to an Overleaf project instead and have edits synced live to the cloud and PDF renders pulled back into a preview pane (if PDF support materializes some day). Having a local copy as an automatically updated backup would also be a nice bonus feature. Not sure if collaborating currently creates one, but for my own projects it would also make adding auxiliary files e.g. for figures a lot easier if I could just copy them to the local folder and have it automatically synced up. Overleaf already offers syncing to a GitHub repo or Dropbox folder so this wouldn't be a radically new thing for them either.
zed-industries/extensions#144 is pretty much a prerequisite to this.
