    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.

    Note taking is not an alternative to markdown editing.

    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.

    The key to good writing is not that magical glass of Bordeaux, the right kind of tobacco or that groovy background music. The key is focus. What you need to write well is a spartan setting that allows you to fully concentrate on your text and nothing but your text.

    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.
