1 introduction
Updated Typora early this morning, not the previous beta version, found that Typora 1.0 started charging.
The current published policy is $14.99 per license, and each license can activate three devices. You can use credit cards and alipay to pay, 89 yuan is conscience, after all, free to use so many years.
We won’t talk about Typora here. At present, I do not plan to buy it. After all, I have a lot of equipment on hand, and the authorization of three machines cannot meet my requirements.
The main reason is that after this payment, there may be additional fees later, but the author said that the subscription model will not be used, but who knows, there will not be a major update for a while, after all, a beta version has been in development for so many years.
Of course, if you don’t want to buy it for the time being, you can still use the beta version, which Typora’s authors really do.

Finally, I wish Typora better and better. I will buy Typora if there are any new features. For now, I will use the beta.
Although Typora started charging, there were quite a few open source Markdown tools available for free at the time. Here are some of my recommendations.

The authors also make a comparison between Notable and other Markdowns.
Chinglish Markdown (GFM), comparing with the standard Markdown syntax, CHinglish added some features such as URL auto-link, code block, syntax highlighting, deletion line, table, anchor point, HTML, etc. That is to say, all these basic functions are supported by Notable.
Entries like other Markdown editors provide additional topics.
