Kraa.io

Kraa is a minimalist, web-based markdown editor designed for distraction-free writing, combining note-taking, rich-text documents, blogging, and real-time collaboration in a single platform. Unlike many modern tools overloaded with AI features, Kraa emphasizes human-focused writing with a clean interface built using Svelte and ProseMirror. Users can start writing instantly without creating an account, benefiting from servers hosted in Switzerland for privacy. Key elements include live preview of markdown formatting for headings, lists, links, and more, ensuring intuitive use without memorizing complex syntax. Real-time collaboration allows multiple users to edit simultaneously, with visible cursors and instant updates, similar to Google Docs but without clutter. A standout in-line chat widget enables seamless discussions within the document, eliminating the need to switch to external apps like Slack. Documents support password protection, quick sharing via links with read or edit permissions, and a version history 'time machine' for tracking changes. Templating separates style from content, allowing customizable visuals for blogs, stories, or magazines that adapt effortlessly. It's ideal for personal notes, team documents, public blogs, or community hubs, with mobile optimization and public beta access. Kraa unifies disparate writing tasks into one frictionless experience, supporting quick publishing, communities via chat, and blacklist features for moderation. While feature-rich, it maintains a minimal UI for focus, making it versatile for students, professionals, content creators, and teams seeking a centralized writing hub without unnecessary distractions.
