The best thing about Overleaf V1 was that I could log into it without an account. This made it possible to share things with people who most likely wouldn't be big TEX users and to whom the idea of working in "code" is scary.
Now having a login, any login, is a impediment for this. If I can show them to the result and TEX markup side by side then I have a chance, however small, for them to read it and see that it's not that fancy.
So my question is is there a workable alternative to the new Overleaf? A tool that has no login requirements, so that I can directly link to the source to updating result view, with edit support for casual users coming in the first time. And with no confusing login requirements, not even ones you can circumvent.

It's not entirely clear to me if you want editing or just viewing, but if just viewing, then you can do that with Overleaf via the Share button. (It looks like editing should also be possible, but that didn't work for me.)

The bigger players once they reach a certain point (success) do not want the headaches associated with random demo users so will simply mention Overleaf Authorea, CoCalc and Datazar seem to have big enough freemium/paying customer bases. There is a separate Big List which includes other products such as Google Docx2LaTeX, verbosus and similar browser plug-ins.
This Answer (Small List) is confined to current free access online without dependency on any install.
It is the smaller freemium players that are left behind trying to get a better share of the market.

It's not entirely clear to me if you want editing or just viewing, but if just viewing, then you can do that with Overleaf via the Share button. (It looks like editing should also be possible, but that didn't work for me.)
