This is intriguing, but honestly the first thought that came to my mind reading the home page was “jack of all trades, master of none”.

Take it as constructive criticism, but I didn’t learn why should I try over my current tools of choice.

In any case, best of lucks with it!

I love it. What little I tried it. First homepage is actually clear and obvious. I was thinking of similar markdown editing experience, so I am happy you did this so I don't have to. Name is a little bit weird, what is this supposed to mean?

Thanks! The whole app is raven-themed. "Kraa" is the sound a raven makes in many languages and is a reasonably short name. It's not anyhow deeper than that.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This should be the first and most important question anyone asks when trying a new product/service. If I don't understant the business model and how much I could be locked-in, I don't even bother wasting 1 minute on the product (I might tray that to get inspiration, but I probably wouldn't use that for anything serious).

> If I don't understant the business model and how much I could be locked-in, I don't even bother wasting 1 minute on the product Personally I do it the other way around, first I try it out and see if it's useful, then I'd figure out if I'm willing to accept the tradeoffs of pricing/lock-in. If you do it the way you suggest, wouldn't that mean you can't actually understand if the business model is fine because of the…

100% agree. Why even question the business model if that's not a product that I would use. First should be "Can I use it?"(meaning does it run on my devices etc.), then "Do I find it useful?" before anything else.

99% marketing 1% product Sorry…

Name one "writing app" that doesn't apply to? Still feel like you're being needlessly harsh, don't you remember writing your first text editor too? Most of us do it at one point or another.

I don't think the OP was trying to write "My First Text Editor". This is a product we're meant to consume and should be critiqued as such.

Intriguing. But - the first thing I want to know it "how much" and then shortly after that I want to know "can I run it myself".

What you see now will always be free. In 2026 we will introduce a 'pro' tier that will increase storage space for media/images and additional advanced features. No self-hosting planned for now.

Apparently, Notion, Obsidian, Google Docs, Word, Notes, Reminders, Evernote, Bear, Typora, iA Writer, Ulysses, Standard Notes, Simplenote, Roam, LogSeq, Craft, Vim, Emacs and the hundreds other editors launched this week alone just weren't doing it. They were too cluttered. Too focused. Too specific in their use cases. Not online. Too offline.

This comment is unfair to this specific product, but it does highlight how saturated this category is.
