https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow is pretty nice for stylized TUI output

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:

https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow

https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow/issues/172

https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow/issues/615

But it looks like they finally removed that code a few months ago: https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow/pull/619

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
