Skimmed the comments but didn’t see mention of :

I’ve used all three, the first two are are WYSIWYG. All are collaborative. HackMD has a nice two window editor that renders MD as you type.

Curious how Vrite compares with these.

I have used syncthing + marktext[0] and or ghostwriter[1] depending on the content of my notes. For a daily journal I like to use ghostwriter as it has almost no distraction and it forces me to focus. It just got shifted over to being maintained by the KDE team and I really enjoy it.

I liked marktext over joplin for similar reasons. But I am probably a little overzealous in my search for distraction free note taking. I assume joplin provides more feature sets, I just happened to want less features for what I do on a day to day.

There’s Marktext [0] that is pleasant, feature rich and has a minimalist UI.

I don't know the motive for the site design, but I wonder if perhaps it wasn't coded for mobile because the app is not compatible with mobile devices but rather only Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Also check out the near-identical open source clone, marktext. Typora will no longer be free once out of beta.

As an open-source alternative to typora I can suggest Marktext https://github.com/marktext/marktext which I believe is on par with typora features. Don't be alarmed by the fact that it's electron, it's pretty fast either way. And as far as I know typora is electron based too.
