    I had no idea this article existed what an amazing resource. I haven't found Inkarnate in the list, also you have FoundryVTT as a sub, it is actually an one-time-buy (sub only if you want to host it but that is not on FOundry)

    Inkarnate is under "Dungeons & Maps". The page is so long now, I need to organize it better, somehow.

    Hi. I wonder if you could add my free, and open-source mapmaking app, Realm Studio, to the list of standalone tools. It's a Windows 10+ app. Released versions are on Github at https://github.com/PeteNelson372/RealmStudio/releases. There are MSI installers for people to download to install the app. Click the RealmStudio.msi link to download the installer. I'm hoping to have is available from the Microsoft Store soon. Full documentation/help is at https://petenelson372.github.io/RealmStudioDocs/. I hope posting this comment isn't against any policies. Please delete it if it does. Thanks!
