   Simplicity and elegance

   It is very well built with simplicity in mind. There are several themes and all of them look amazing. I love the "typewriter" and "focus" mode. In contrast with other apps that focus the current window and remove all visibility options, Typora goes one step ahead and fades down all other paragraphs as well.

   🏁 Competitors: wereturtle.github.io ghostwriter, iA Writer, MonsterWriter

   👍 Pros:    Beautiful themes|Typewriter mode|Focus mode

• Uizard: Figma alternative with low learning curve

  I am a software developer, so doing UX is never my strength. From time to time though, I would resort to using the open source tool Pencil (https://pencil.evolus.vn/) to get a low fidelity mock-up. Lately I've been encountering bugs where images would come out broken when I re-open my wireframe in Pencil. Frustrated of the issue on Pencil, I tried out uizard yesterday, and have been really happy with it. It's... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Quick UI-design tool for mockups?

  Thanks for your replies. I checked some of them out, but I found one on my own that fits me perfectly: Pencil. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best practice to draw/describe UIs in plain text?

  I wouldn't use text to illustrate a GUI. We use Pencil with the crayon-styled stencils to make quick mockups. The crayon styling makes it clear that they're just mockups so people don't poke at the style aspects of the design. We've gotten great feedback from our clients that these are effective illustrations too. Source: over 1 year ago

• Simple tool for network documentation?

  I use MS Visio at work and Pencil (free) at home. Source: almost 2 years ago

• A blog web design with Inkscape, what do you think about it?

  Thank you ! Of the ones I have tested, the only one that really works is Pencil, unfortunately, it lacks a lot of functionalities, and it is still far from being as practical as Figma, adobe xd etc. I think Inkscape is much more practical and powerful, but maybe it's just because I'm used to it :).

• Show HN: Lexeme – open-source ChatGPT text editor

  If Lexeme is similar to Typora (https://typora.io), it could be fantastic and might even surpass Typora in terms of quality. On the other hand, if Typora already has these features, it's quite powerful. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

  Just FYI, the direct answer to your question is Typora: https://typora.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: How did you migrate off Evernote?

  Evernote was ok for a little bit, but the only thing it really did for me was search... Once I realized that I switched tactics. I organized my life into domains, and got okay at using grep to replace it. My saving grace that I would pay twice for is https://typora.io. Though worth mentioning Apple Notes has come a long way. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Show HN: I've built open-source, collaborative, WYSIWYG Markdown editor

  Typora https://typora.io/ Open source — https://hackmd.io/ I’ve used all three, the first two are are WYSIWYG. All are collaborative. HackMD has a nice two window editor that renders MD as you type. Curious how Vrite compares with these. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
