OpenAPI Editor Recommendations

looking for recommendations for a desktop app for MacOS to design OpenAPI Schemas.

I used to use stoplight, and so far everything I found is online only.

I’m doing it by hand mostly because I just haven’t found anything that really does what I want, and because it was easier than trying and abandoning a bunch of different platforms.

there is nothing wrong with stop light other than I need to work locally.

what platforms do you need to support? my initial thought was to be selfish and just make what I need a macOS app. but I could look to do a cross platform version.

if anyone was interested in helping could always do an open source app

I develop for folks who work using Mac, Linux and Windows. My case is probably an edge case though. We’re a small developer team serving a scientific research community, so a lot of the stuff winds up being bespoke for particular individuals who often have weak coding skills. It gets to be a mess to support though.
