Hey HN! Arky is a markdown editor with a twist — instead of writing in a linear doc, you work on a 2D canvas where you can:

• Place ideas anywhere spatially

• Organize them into hierarchy with drag & drop

• See the full document structure at a glance

• AI writes contextually — drag & drop responses anywhere on canvas

Would love to hear your thoughts!

I do actually quite like snapping texts together like lego, it is very satisfying, multi-user live editing would make this a great addition for meetings

Difficult market to penetrate. The niche seems so saturated already. Good luck.

    Appreciate it! I agree — it’s a crowded space. And yeah, building a new kind of editor is definitely a challenge.

    But I genuinely believe there’s room for something different — a tool that makes collaborating WITH AI feel natural. Most interfaces we use today were designed before AI became part of the workflow.
