The documentation seems to focus on the web app, but I don't want to sign up because I intend to write sensitive information. I'm on Windows 11 and I have WSL installed. Thanks.

you don't need WSL, there's a .exe

#

if you want a nice editor I'd use vscode with the tinymist extension

Note that if you install tinymist in vscode you don't actually have to install the typst cli itself

Oops too late

How does it run without the binary?

Interesting

but typst-cli has different use cases. If you would like to automate document building by shell scripts, a typst-cli fixed to some version is suggested so that you can ensure to build them forever even if we update the typst in beta stage. These cases are not usual in people just starting to use typst though.

Then I don't understand @hushed kraken's argument. They are not different use cases. It's the same use case but one is a proprietary software and one is not. I don't think wanting some privacy is unusual when you are relying on an open-source project. Quite the opposite actually.
