Markdown Editors: Typora

It's that time again, searching for a quick editor for Markdown (.md) files. This time it is getting easier as it seems that a lot of people are using Markdown. There are also lot of people developing editors, it seems.

After a fairly quick search, I narrowed down to two options. Will see how it goes.

There are several important factors to consider, in order of preference:

  • startup speed
  • HTML preview
  • styles support (so I can make it dark)
  • extended Markdown support (strikethrough, for example)
Current favourites: Abricotine, which is Open Source, and Typora, which is free while in Beta.
