    Obsidian does technically provide some similar features to Typora, namely a live-preview markdown editor. However it's not really a text editor like Typora, more a managed note-taking system. You could not really say "I have this markdown file, I'll edit it with Obsidian".

    Obsidian is organizing software. Markdown editing is just a feature. It's not fair enough to say that it's an alternative.

    Obsidian is a comprehensive note-taking app that has support for markdown. Typora is just a markdown editor.

    As others said, while Joplin does include MD functionality, it is to use within itself not as a general editor. I don't even know if you COULD use this as a MD editor. Not conveniently for sure.

    Design is greate and OpenSource is still a big advantage about Typora.

    HOWEVER, Typora is file-based, whereas Beaver Notes isn't! That is a BIG difference between booth programs! I whould say the concepts of how the informations are saved is so diffenrent that this booth programms are NOT COMPARABLE.

    Live preview, attach images, sync with end-to-end encryption on Windows, Mac, LInux and mobile. Not as pretty as Typora, but much more useful.
