I have used Typora, it's alright — but it's definitely no Obsidian[^1] Typora is very limited in terms of plugins / customisability — although it's standard feature set might be enough Obsidian is my new Emacs, it rules my life through some plugins I've written for myself, it can be a simple focus driven markdown editor like Typora if I need it to be, or a full knowledge suite like Notion and the likes of that all wh…

Since it's your new Emacs, can you explain how Obsidian compare to Org mode? (I see that apparently it's not open source?). Thanks!

Org Roam (www.orgroam.com) add most of the Obsidian feature in Org mode

Cool, I use Typora for writing readme files and documentation.

It’s the best markdown editor I have found so far.

Does anyone know if Typora is an Electron-based application?

I love using Typora. My favorite feature is the mathjax support. It has replaced latex for me for grad school assignments and saves a lot of time. Great to see that they won’t be going the subscription route.

They did not exclude possible charge for major upgrade. I am not relying on typora. I use it for WYSIWYG markdown editing with equations. Actually I like more the functionality to copy pasted image to a folder - that is the only feature I really like. I still have not convinced myself to pay for it.

You should ask them then. I find that "one-time payment" is pretty specific. Still, $15 is absurdly cheap for what you get.

And there's an ARM Linux download?

Even if it's a bit of a laggy pain in the rear on low power ARM laptops, that's worth supporting!

Since the time I discovered Typora, I only use LibreOffice Writer or MS Word when I really need typesetting. Whenever I just need to write/save a text (and don't really need to specify fonts etc) I use Typora.

Besides all the other features it is particularly pleasing aesthetically and this way makes writing satisfying. I wish there were an Obsidian theme to mimic Typora look and feel.

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?
