Typora is where I enjoy updating my blog.

When I was in high school studying the algorithm competition, I had no idea what Markdown was. The name just emerged when I typed in the luogu blog. In Markdown editor, you could easily write posts in a beautiful style. And then I met Typora. It was also a time when I hate paid software. I didn't think software can be a paid product. So I copied a pirated version on the school computer. (Being a "hacker" made me feel proud.)

Apart from other Markdown editors, Typora can modify its theme easily by editing the CSS file. I tried a lot at first to create various flamboyant personal styles (and waste loads of time). However, I quickly recovered that the primary theme like Github, Newsprint was much better. What impressed me most is that such simple and elegant style will totally change my aesthetics, and I came to realize that: 

> Default Settings are always the best.

Now, Typora is vital for me because it becomes a place where I collect my ideas, express myself, practice my writing skills (updating my blogs) and produce my learning notes. I believe that insisting on writing is a good habit. During this process, I organise my ideas and deeply-think some questions that bother me. Maybe only through thinking can I keep my mind clearly and effectively working.
