I miss Typora's WYSIWYG Markdown editing in VS Code. For a note-taking, two pane window (one for editing and one for preview) makes very less sense.

So much this. I think it's the number one problem that Roam, Obsidian, and this has. Without live-rendered markdown it's more mental overhead than it's worth.

Siyuan is what you're looking for.

The app itself is in English. It's got a WYSWYG editor with a nice table feature.

Obsidians source code display is pretty close to preview quality, actually. Sadly they don't dare to feature this in the official screenshots, they are all in preview mode.

Here is a side-by-side to get the idea (the theme may be subject to taste, but it's not really relevant to the topic anyway, and there are a lot, less fancy ones as well):

What do you mean you "miss" it? Typora has a stand-alone app that works great.

Did it used to be a VS Code extension?

Typora's markdown experience is great. I wish to see the same in VSCode. It isn't feasible to use Typora just for markdown and VSCode for other type of files.
