For all the people saying you'd be happy to pay for this given its value to you: you're missing the point. The DRM is the problem, and paid software is perfectly capable of existing without DRM.
What's the alternative?

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
100% agree. In addition, Obsidian has a great Vim mode, which is something that we've been asking for in Typora for years [0]. Typora is less buggy than Codemirror, but it's a small price to pay for native keybondings. I've now completely switched over to it, from a combination of Typora and Inkdrop. Obsidian still doesn't replicate Typora's clean aesthetic though. It's something I really wish it had - some kind of c…
Maybe check out the new Typewriter theme for Obsidian + Focus Mode plugin? https://github.com/crashmoney/obsidian-typewriter https://github.com/ryanpcmcquen/obsidian-focus-mode
The Focus Mode plugin is just what I was looking for! Thank you. I really enjoy reading your blog btw.

#33They clearly detail that an internet connection is required to activate[0]. Whenever I read such statements, I always find myself wondering: What's their plan for when the product is discontinued? It's a "when", not an "if", after all. [0] https://support.typora.io/activation/
And as a user, what's your plan to keep being able to access your notes? I feel that if you don't control your data, then you don't have your data. A license that might evaporate means your data exists at somebody else's whim. I'd move it out of that system fast.
The notes are stored as .md files on your computer.

#34We're asked, over and over again, by the guidelines and by moderator comments, not to editorialize titles like this. This is a particularly egregious example; the submission is simply the release notes for the 1.0 version of an editor called Typora, and this submission should be called "Typora 1.0".
How does one post a link when the only interesting thing about it is buried or non-obvious? I think linking to our own blog posts or tweets is also disallowed (?) so we have to wait for someone else to blog about it? I've never quite understood how to solve this puzzle as it means a reasonably large class of pertinent information is impossible to post to HN.
Linking to your own blog isn’t disallowed, and in fact “write a blog post about the thing and then link to that” is the right way to handle this.
I think the rule that may be tripping you up is “Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.”
That rule is focused on avoiding self-promotion. For example, if you’re working on a cool new idea, don’t just post a new link to your site once a week. But writing a blog post to dig into an element of something Typora has changed is pretty clearly fine.

#35What does Typora have over ghostwriter, remarkable, zettlr, or apostrophe?
I mostly use Zim-Wiki but if I'm doing markdown these seem to provide everything Typora for free.

Thanks. In that case I think the rule is mostly fine. At least it would be if there was better options for micro-blogging on the spur of the moment ;-)
Re: Typora 1.0
#37Here's what's the fuss about: (quote from Typora, emphasis mine):
I cannot activate Typora Error message “Please input a valid license code”
Please check if your license code is valid or not, license code are using formats like XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX with uppercase letters and numbers.
If you forgot your license code, please refer “How to retrieve my license code if I forgot it ?”. Error message “Email address confirmation does not match”
Because once you used a license code, same email address MUST be used for the same license code in future activations. So you will need to input email address twice for confirmation. If those two input is not the same, this error will shown. So please check and correct your email address when met this error.
Error message “This license code has been used with a different email address.”
Because once you used a license code, same email address MUST be used for the same license code in future activations. This errors shows if the email address you use did not math the email address that that has been used when activating Typora with the license code at the first time. Error message “Failed to access the license server. Please check your network or try gain later.”
Activation Typora requires network connection

if I understood correctly, activation is a one-time process. So you buy the license and then activate the product and then you have it, period.
Since you purchased the licence from this very server, there's no point in worrying it'll be down, except you purchased it like 3yrs ago and would like to activate it now.
