Yes, but it's probably worth another look as my use cases have shifted around. I'm 1000% not interested in signing up for their SaaS (corporate data security concerns) but I see that they have an open source CLI [0] so maybe I'll try that. Also, looks like they offer a self-hosted enterprise offering now, which is intriguing.

My use cases include:

- Drafting, reviewing and iterating over legal documents, especially contracts - Technical and business process documentation - Long-form, print-friendly report generation, including data visualization, tables and images

The open-source CLI is indeed all you need. On Mac, I could just do `brew install typst` to get the compiler, and then run it on a local `*.typ` file. I'm sure there are packages available for most Linux distributions as well by now.
