While Typora might seem like a good editor, it was bought by a Chinese company that officially manufactures batteries, raising concerns that this is just another polyfill.js waiting to happen. While closed source is not inherently untrustworthy, closed source that gets sold to a Chinese company that has no reason to buy it, without that owner even being listing in the EULA (until I asked them about why their EULA didn't identify a legal entity) is incredibly sus.

(i.e. not a single cached version on the wayback machine shows their EULA identifying the owner before that got added on December 26, 2024)

Even if you want to keep it in the list of offline markdown editors, that should come with some warnings.
