Show HN: Kraa.io – Markdown editor for notes, blogs, chats
Hi HN! Excited to share the public beta of Kraa – a web-based markdown editor.
It's aiming to be distraction-free and has strong separation of the document's styling from the experience of writing it — while still alowing for rich customization. Example of a leaf with custom styles: https://kraa.io/kraa/examples/echolibrary
Curious about your feedback in hopes of improving Kraa before the planned launch later this year.
What's the point of editors like this. It looks really well done, but it's not the first, and I don't see the point of any of them.
I don't get why I would need a web-based editor (markdown or other formats). I can perhaps see the point in a collaboration editor, but that's a special case.
Where's the "save" button? Where is my stuff stored? After clicking around a bit I got stuff in the edit mode and now I can't get back to the frontpage.
Perhaps this is an age thing, but files goes on my hard drive, I organise them using a file manager. Files shouldn't be stuck in a browser.
It says I can write blog posts, but how do I export files to my blog? Is there Wordpress integration? Git?
Here is a public leaf to showcase how chatting works with Kraa's unique 'writer' role: https://kraa.io/hackernews
Feedback: backlink is not working as expected, i've tried several times - initially i clicked on sth, clicked back and it got me to "private mode" (new leaf, search), when i tried again and clicked on a one of showcase links and the clicked back twice it brought me back to the "private mode" again, seems quite finicky.
EDIT: repro: seems like spa app tries to be smart about browser.history - just click random things and try to use back button
The website is cleannnn! Keep up the good work!
Well – chatting in there sure was a fun experience! This gave off Google Wave vibes, back when it launched.
Just had a great conversation with multiple people, really like the concept displayed in the showcase.
Looks nice, but what is the value proposition? Why this versus many other distraction free editors?
Feels like I’ve rehydrated a long-dormant thread—my desire to write is back online.
Looks nice! What tangible arguments do you have for me to switch from Notion to Kraa?
I have been looking for something similar for a while. Thanks for this.
This is very clean and clutter free. I really like simplicity
Nice! Markdown is everything we need
Ok, this may get downvoted but if you are Brazilian and specially from Rio de Janeiro, and you're reading this domain name, you are 100% laughing at this name. Pejorative to some, but funny AF.
seems down
