Typora (http://typora.io). with beautiful design and powerful functionalities


My screen is small, so I don't want to use those markdown editors which split their window into source section and preview section, I want to one window for both editing and previewing, so I developed Typora. It's still under development so it's still an alpha version.

Any comments are appreciated.


Typora looks great. Any plans for linux?


Haven't consider that. But the windows version is based on node-WebKit which has a built-in support of cross-platform, so there maybe a Linux version in the feature.


To me, one big issue is that you cannot use markdown to present everything, for example, one cannot use it to produce something like <pre>`d`<pre>, I mean he cannot use ``d`` to do that, right? Also you cannot write

```

```markdown

## HEADER

```

```

to produce a fenced code block which contains a markdown source code for code block.

Also, different markdown editor use different markdown parser. So, same source code will be rendered differently in different editor.


This makes a similar concept with marked2 (http://marked2app.com), you write markdown on any app you like and then preview it using another tool. But personally, I prefer to do the previewing and writing on the sometime. So my ideal markdown eidtor is something like Typora (http://typora.io)
