'Typora' is a subscription-based digital aid for markdown writing that has just moved out of beta testing, and to market. Typora is both easy to learn for newcomers and intricately customizable for those who know exactly what they want out of a markdown editor.
The standard form of Typora uses 'GitHub Flavored Markdown' (GFM) meaning it primarily supports GitHub and GitHub Enterprise tools. As a minimalist markdown writing tool, Typora has a very simple user interface that is paired with a comprehensive user guide on its associated website. What is unique about Typora as a markdown writing tool is that it offers support for nearly every feature of professional, web, and scholarly writing. Typora allows users to input images, links, tables, footnotes, and even emojis directly into the document, all with a simplified view.
The customization features on Typora allow for setting strict syntax parameters on its 'Strict Mode,' making Typora excellent for professionals or those following a style guide.
