Show HN: Text editor that does it all

Kraa, a text editor developed by a three-person team, has released its largest update since launch, introducing features such as a multi-leaf view and real-time chat while maintaining a clutter-free UI with strong separation of style from content. The update is showcased in demo examples including a blog article, a long-form story, and a magazine, available without login.

Hello HN!

There is an abundance of choice when it comes to text editors, but they all seem to be either too simplistic and minimal, or overly complex, distracting and difficult to use. Kraa is trying to strike the right balance between a 'complete' feature set (with some unique features you won't find anywhere else – e.g. the multi-leaf view or our real-real-time chat), while keeping the UI clutter-free with a strong separation of style from content.

We are a team of three working on the editor for a long time already (before the AI boom), but this is the largest update to it since launch.

Some demo examples (no login required):

- Blog article: [https://kraa.io/kraa/examples/echolibrary](https://kraa.io/kraa/examples/echolibrary)

- Long-form story: [https://kraa.io/kraa/examples/insidekick](https://kraa.io/kraa/examples/insidekick)

We'd love to hear your feedback.
