   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

• Show HN: A Python-based static site generator using Jinja templates

  I'll slightly modify your argument; because Pure HTML does suck: Why don't people make static sites with a simple "Markdown-or-Similar to HTML" converter, CSS, and vanilla JS...etc? (This is what I do, btw -- http://zim-wiki.org + a template). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Show HN: A directory of open source alternatives to proprietary software

  You should add Zim [1] to the "Personal Knowledge Management" section :) [1] https://zim-wiki.org. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool

  Https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ And I just tweaked the CSS and added a bit of logic to included the possibility of one image per slide; as well as editing slides not with raw HTML but with https://zim-wiki.org (because that's what I'm really used to, I'm sure any Markdown thing would work just as well). - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• The rise and fall of the standard user interface

  Absolutely; recently I realize I wish I'd never learned vim. I use too many other programs that are at least CUA-ish ( http://zim-wiki.org is the most important app I use ) and now I kind of want out. I haven't yet tried Modeless Vim, but that looks like my next experiment. https://github.com/SebastianMuskalla/ModelessVim. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Writing HTML in HTML

  It is so hard not to feel REALLY SMUG reading stuff like this, as someone who has run my own website as the working primary source for my college instruction for the past 15 years or so using https://zim-wiki.org. (before Markdown was much of a thing!) It's borderline bizarre to have watched this method of doing things kind of die out, and then also come back in the form of "static site generators" --... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: What's the best way to write a book in Markdown?

  Typora.. https://typora.io/ And keep each chapter as separate file…. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• 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

• Ask HN: Are there valid Google Search alternatives?

  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
