Powerful modern LaTeX 3 class for dissertations, reports, and the like. Configure just about everything (spacing, numbering, theorems, glues, positioning, fonts, styles, etc.) with ~250 well-organized key–value options.
Presets for the PhD dissertation requirements at UC Berkeley, Cambridge, University of Chicago, Carnegie Mellon University, Harvard, Stanford, University College London, UC San Diego, and UC San Francisco.
Requires LuaTeX and updated packages (e.g. Tex Live 2022).
Make sure to copy the lib/ directory in Overleaf or get more recent copies from CTAN.
Generally stable, but you may run into tricky situations, like with all LaTeX classes. Feel free to ask a question on GitHub.

Why is it called Desert? Because deserts are sparsely populated yet beautiful biomes, rich in diversity of their flora and fauna. Really, I don't know why.
