There's usually some confusion about this, so to clarify in advance:

- The Typst online editor is proprietary: https://typst.app

- The Typst compiler/CLI is open source: https://github.com/typst/typst

I hear that the online editor is quite good, but personally I've only ever used the CLI.

I originally picked up Typst as yet another replacement for PowerPoint (replacing my use of Marp), but have since used it for a poster and some minor text documents. And I've been very happy the results. I know that a lot of people love using LaTeX for that kind of thing, and with good reasons, but I always forgot most of the details between my (occasional) use of LaTeX, while I've found Typst to be very easy to return to
