typora is a great wysiwyg Markdown editor that supports Jekyll’s front matter.
You can add custom themes and styles, so it’s easy to get a real sense of what your blog post will look like, once your own site styles are applied.
When comparing typora vs Zettlr, the Slant community recommends typora for most people.In the question“What is the note taking app for Amazon Alexa?” typora is ranked 9th while Zettlr is ranked 48th. The most important reason people chose typora is. Typorais a great wysiwyg Markdowneditor that supports Jekyll’s front matter. You can add custom themes and styles, so it’s easy to get a real sense of what your blog post will look like, once your own site styles are applied. Typora is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. I have used it on my powerful Windows desktop and weak little Linux laptop and found the experience to be equally good on both. An experienced writer who uses a Mac recommended Typora to me and uses it as his primary writing tool. Typora is a streamlined piece of software that is designed from the ground up to help you write and edit using the Markdown language without distracting you from the job at hand.
It’s got an absolute raft of features, but comes with a really distraction-free writing interface which I find much more useful than a text editor when writing longer Markdown pieces, or when I want to go from a rough draft to proofing a finished article.
It can do nice things like display images relative to your posts, and does it in a way that’s compatible with both your local filesystem and the eventual URL on your website. For instance, here’s a screenshot of this article, written in typora, showing an earlier version of this article with a screenshot 🤯, but before I’d published it (or even used jekyll’s --drafts option).
The image displays locally in typora, and will also display on my website, just using the markdown  because of the typora-root-url front matter entry. Nice!
The typora-root-url entry has a subfolder path ../, because when you’re viewing the article in typora, the document is saved in your in your _drafts or _posts folder and the images are found underneath ../images.
This means you can drag and drop images into your typora document, which suits my screengrab, write, screengrab, write workflow. You don’t need to pre-save the images or faff around moving them to the correct folder before adding them with markdown. I’ve got my typora image preferences set to save images into the jekyll images folder, and then into a subfolder named after the typora document I’m working on, which means all the images for a specific post are kept nicely together.
Adding that screenshot with drag and drop, looks like this:
You can drag and drop videos, just like the one above in the same way, but you will need to alter the path, but you do get an interface for that in typora - hover over the movie, toggle to html and alter its path.

If you get the error ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! or curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404, it might be that upstream has changed/removed a released package. They have a habit of doing that from time to time. Leave me a comment and I'll update the sum (or version).
You can also try cloning the repo and running make update, which attempts to parse the newest version out of the debian repository index and update the PKGBUILD for you.

New: The PKGBUILD will build with system electron if you set env ELECTRON=electron while building. Please try this out and provide feedback.
Edit: Thanks NicoHood for the PKGBUILD contributions.

I tried to install typora and got the 404 error your pinned comment warns about.I randomly tried different URLs bumping the version number and both https://typora.io/linux/typora_0.9.93_amd64.deb and https://typora.io/linux/typora_0.9.94_amd64.deb work.
I am not sure whether 0.9.94 is the latest version or not, because downloading the binary file from the homepage provides a version file that contains only the string 9.9.2 and the official changelog file says the latest version is 0.9.9.35, but the URL https://typora.io/linux/typora_0.9.9.35_amd64.deb returns a 404 error as well.

See Package etiquette:
When creating a package description for a package, do not include the package name in a self-referencing way.
This should not be installed to /usr/share/, see Electron package guidelines: Directory structure
My PKGBUILD using the tarball with system Electron.

the 0.9.92 version might has a problem that can't automatically save image to local folders.(My image location is set as './assets')
if you right click a picture (from Internet) and then click 'copy to assets',you get a warning on the top '复制图片至目标目录失败。 Failed to copy image .ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'http://xxx.jpg'
and I think 0.9.89 has another bug that a new picture with a same name will overwrite the old one.

Multiple files in /usr/share/typora/resources/app/node_modules are writable by everyone, please fix this.

I've just added 0.9.87 + hashes to my pkgbuild, unfortunately it seems to download a corrupted .deb. Can anyone confirm ?

@duk3m0n this is not how you install from AUR...Either use 'yay' (very convenient wrapper) or read the wiki for the manual approach: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages
duk3m0n commented on 2020-05-08 15:44
Excuse me, I can't install or search typora in aur, the output of 'sudo pacman -S typora' is 'error: target not found: typora'

@Samhamsam, I just tried building a package and it worked for me.
The same day you posted your comment, the package direcotry gave a 504 status code on my monitoring. It has since resolved itself, so I suspect that was your issue.

Hi, i get 'ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!' when trying to install.
