At first I was a bit puzzled why anyone would need to describe an editor as "secure"... but oh well, it is actually a web application. I can see the need now.

I cannot vouch for the security the editor mentioned here, but anything that handles external data has security concerns.

Did you read the article? It's an interesting way of making a rich shareable document that is readable by those you share the link with and not by anyone else, including those who operate the server, or those on the network route to you.

Well, that's the principle, I didn't look closely enough to see if their implementation can be trusted, but it's a fun idea.

Since the encryption key is in the URL I don't think it's fair for them to claim they can't decrypt.

It is in the hash/fragment of the URL, that part is client side only and is never sent to the server.
