What it does

Introducing Arky, your AI thinking canvas. Arky is derived from the word “architect.” It's a canvas where you shape and assemble your thoughts with AI. Traditional writing tools lock you into a top-down flow — great for output, but too rigid for thinking. Design canvases give you spatial freedom, but no structure to build on. Arky brings both together. On a canvas, using markdown-based hierarchy, you can architect your ideas and develop them with AI — at every step of the process! ❤️‍🔥

Arky is a spatial canvas that helps you map, structure, and organize complex ideas with AI. Lay out research, study notes, and project plans visually — then refine them into polished documents.

Where ideas take shape Give your thoughts room to spread out, connect, and become clear . Dump raw fragments, then drag, group, and nest them into a clear structure. Sharpen your thinking with an AI that understands your context. Switch to Doc view and flesh out the details in a focused flow. Just keep your PDF open, highlight what you need, and drag it right into your draft. Collaborate live with teammates to structure your work together. Save your work as Markdown or Docs, and export to PDF and PowerPoint soon. Upgrade to collaborate with your team and unlock morefrom arky.so

Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
