This is the first major release of Kraa. Kraa is not just another note-takin app. It's a web app for any kind of writing, be it a personal note, collaborative rich-text document, or even a group real-real time conversation (via Kraa's unique Chat widget).
Hello Product Hunters! I'm Lev, one of three building this product.
We are well aware of the sea of editors and note-taking apps out there. Kraa in a way adds to this already overwhelming choice, but our approach is quite different and allows for specific use cases one might not expect from a regular 'markdown editor'.
One of the core principles of Kraa is a strong separation of style and content. Our templating system allow for rich customizations while the experience of actually writing or reading the content remains clutter-free and focused.
Kraa is also aiming to be an abstraction over ANY written text. We are still far from that goal, but you will already find — on a first-glance odd — features like real-real-time chats or a completely frictionless blog-publishing experience (literally just change access from 'anyone with link' to a 'reader' and add a Chat widget for comments).
Congratulations on the launch! The design really does resemble Notion a bit, as people are saying in the comments)
Congrats on the launch! The clean writing experience combined with flexible templates feels very intentional. What was the original problem that pushed you to build Kraa instead of using existing editors?
How does this compare to Notion and Obsidian? It appears to use Notion's cloud-first architecture. Any plans to have native apps across platforms?
Love the separation of style and content — Kraa feels less like “another editor” and more like a flexible writing layer that adapts to entirely different use cases without clutter or friction.
The website looks good and sounded promising, but that's stop there. Everything is accessible, all routes do overfetch, all the decoding is visible client side, no security at all. Is this vibecoded ? Please stop publishing half started product
Bonus point for writing the password of a note in clear in the console
Wow, Kraa looks incredible! The writing app for everything tagline is spot on. Super curious how the Chat widget handles large group conversations in real-time. Definitely giving this a try!
@ladislav_kafka The writing workspace is beautifully designed. How are you capturing writers as a network effect? What's the retention curve looking like after day 30 and the secret to it looking like?
Kinda into this idea. One place for notes, docs, even group chat. I’m constantly jumping between Notes, Docs, and Slack. If Kraa keeps long-form clean and doesn’t turn into a noisy inbox, I’m interested. Will give it a spin tonight.
On the homepage, can you make the scroll down a little more prominent? I thought the website was incomplete. You hid the features of your app just because of a small UX
Is the editorial style compatible with most platforms (Medium, Substack etc)?
