Glow is awesome.
No. Glow connects to internet servers, screw that.
Oops, I actually meant Gum, not Glow. Different project from the same folks.

That said, I use Glow to render markdown sometimes. When and how does it connect to internet servers?

I think the person you're responding to is FOS but anyone can audit the source code to find such a thing: https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow
Please point me to the exact place in the source code where it does that:

yeah, looks like they had a "secure markdown stashing feature" at some point which is a cool way to do usage tracking while claiming you're offering a useful feature... and then people weren't fooled.

I'm fine with it
