Show HN: Arky – Visual 2D Markdown editor (access codes below)
app.arky.soHey 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 Thanks! Glad you like the Lego-style snapping — multi-user live editing is definitely on our roadmap. Here are 10 access codes to try it out: f02f24, 25c2ff, ebf35f, 5411cf, f22385, 84bcbb, cbd3dd, 3c1091, 7cbfd3, 1baf8d If these run out, comment below for more! I'll send you one. You might use Arky for: • Brainstorming • Structuring strategy docs • Organizing complex ideas Try it for research drafts or organizing messy thoughts! 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.
