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.

Excellent piece of software here. Most of my markdown stuff is in Joplin now for personal notes.

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

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.)

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

(PS. I have Apostrophe and it’s a good piece of software and will no doubt get better in time but Typora is in a different league.)
