    Joplin is focused in taking and organizing notes written in markdown, while Typora is a generic markdown editor.

    Zettlr has almost every feature of Typora, but it can do even more. An example is the support to hyperlink to other notes in the same directory (so that it is possible to implement Zettelkasten).

    Zettlr is similar to Typora in interface and function, but has better features and is open source.

    ghostwriter is a c++ program much faster and better than any electron alternative.

    pandoc support, qt-based (with c++ at back), under the auspices of kde, but does not depend on their libraries (there are Qt libraries in the archive, but you will have to put up with this)

    Design is greate and OpenSource is still a big advantage about Typora.

    HOWEVER, Typora is file-based, whereas Beaver Notes isn't! That is a BIG difference between booth programs! I whould say the concepts of how the informations are saved is so diffenrent that this booth programms are NOT COMPARABLE.
