Kraa 1.0

The writing app for everything

Writing
User Experience
Notes

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).

Live demos (no login required):

Kraa is built on ProseMirror (via TipTap) and Svelte.

You don’t need an account to try it. We’d love to hear what you think.

Comment highlights

@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)?
