An error occurred while saving the comment Gene Rugg commented
As TheBrain webapp is currently hosted in Azure, it does look like the possability of a deployed Azure application would be trivial (ie, in a secure virtual network, or edge server even).
Their combination of .Net, Blazor service, and Venus editor likely means it could be deployed as a running service on a machine. There is a lot of IP that it would contain, and decomplication is potentially a risk too, or being an alternative to their online services.

An error occurred while saving the comment Just as a gentle note, the github checkbox syntax seems to be "- [x]" rather than just "[x]", and the first isn't parsed well by TheBrain. This also is undocumented on the markdown-info page.
When I select multiple lines, I get code snippits per line rather than one triple backslash code block.
I imagine the creators would consider this feature to be redundant for hyperlinking, and writing papers in TheBrain not the primary goal. But Wikipedia is built on the same card concept, and I agree breakout references are sometimes needed.
Here's MediaWiki implementation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Footnotes
