I guess this means goodbye Typora. The price of $15, the limitation of only 3 activations and the requirement to be connected to the internet to check the activation status is the deal breaker for me. Typora is not the only markdown editors and it's not the best in terms of features. Dealing with Typora activation is more hassle for me than switching to another markdown app.

#102Good! It's important for developers to make money, everyone has to eat. They've created an awesome editing app.
I agree with your comment. To be snarky though — considering how widely ad blocking and piracy are discussed and used on HN. One may assume HN would find it important to pirate all developer apps too.
Re: Typora 1.0
#103To those comparing to other softwares: It is closer to [Multimarkdown]( https://multimarkdown.com/ ). As a pandoc GUI, it should be compared to [PanWriter]( https://panwriter.com ) which is open-source is grown from within the pandoc community, where you can contribute to make it better. Edit: also try the VSCode extension [vscode-markdown-it-pandoc ]( https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ickc.vsc... )…
An even closer option is https://marktext.app/. Marktext is open source and available for every os. It's also built on Electron like Typora.
