On: Typora 1.0

I love using Typora. My favorite feature is the mathjax support. It has replaced latex for me for grad school assignments and saves a lot of time.

Great to see that they won’t be going the subscription route.

I too was drawn by this feature at first. But then discovered that with pages and pages of formulas, the rendering gets too sluggish which also impares the editing. So I had to disable the rendering just to edit some formulas.

While I still see a use for Typora, especially due to its convenient export into .doc, I'm already considering alternatives.

They did not exclude possible charge for major upgrade.

I am not relying on typora. I use it for WYSIWYG markdown editing with equations. Actually I like more the functionality to copy pasted image to a folder - that is the only feature I really like.

I still have not convinced myself to pay for it.

You should ask them then. I find that "one-time payment" is pretty specific. Still, $15 is absurdly cheap for what you get.

This will be a killer feature for a set of highly active users if they go this direction.

That's quite a common feature in Markdown editors: retext, apostrophe, ghostwriter, zettlr, notable, etc all support latex for equations.
