Just bought a license for Typora, a gorgeous markdown viewing/editing application that seamlessly renders your markdown in place as you write it.

It’s by an independent developer and also runs on Linux.

Screenshot of Typoria showing the Kitten README file. The markdown is editable yet appears as it would render. There’s a file menu at the top.

Screenshot of a modal dialog box that has the Typoria icon and reads “Typoria Activated. Thanks for your purchase.” It Close, Deactivate, and View License buttons.

@aral I love (and bought) Typora for its features, but dislike it for not being FOSS.
If you want a #foss #markdown editor: try Apostrophe.

@sonniesonnig I’d like it better if it was free and open, of course. But I like it well enough that it’s by an independent developer. Which is more than what I can say for a lot of the “open source” we use. Including my current operating system (Fedora Silverblue), which is by IBM. (And IBM is about as evil as they come.)

@aral True, ATM Typora is my markdown editor of choice – EVEN if it's unfree – AND the dev is from china (IIRC).
It's hard to not use only free software (or drivers), in most cases it just does not work. In this moment I use PopOS (this DE is so awesome), which is based on a dstro thich is based on another. And two companies are involved. After years of Manjaro or Arch I still don't know, if this feels good. :D
