I happily paid money for Typora, which does roughly the same thing for just Markdown without support for JSON, Yaml (that I know of). This feels like a ripe space, especially with LLMs eagerly outputting reams of parseable text with embedded diagrams.


The $15 price tag for Typora seems a bit steep considering the fundamental features it provides.


The price of a fancy burger doesn't seem all that unreasonable for a piece of software one finds even moderately useful (of course, depending on your local exchange rate that may be more or less true)


Sometimes you're a patron of the arts more than an engineer on these types of purchases, I think


Thanks! Typora is great - Ferrite aims for similar polish but with native Mermaid, structured data support (JSON/YAML/TOML tree viewer), and the pipeline feature for shell integration. And it's open source!


+1 happy user of Typora. I really like its ability to auto-create a related assets folder for embedded media as it’s dragged into a doc.


I like the editor, but Typora’s lineage is opaque, which worries me.
