kov← backWe’re rebuilding the workspace, not adding a feature to it.
kov is a real-time workspace that pairs a block editor with a whiteboard, on every device, from one codebase. Here is the short version of why we are building it and what we have so far.
Why now.
The first generation of knowledge tools picked a side: documents (Google Docs, Notion) or canvases (Figma, Miro). The result is that most real work happens between them, and most real work is losing connective tissue every time someone copies a screenshot from one app into the other.
Real-time collaboration has matured into a primitive. CRDTs (Yjs, Automerge) are no longer research projects; cross- platform rendering is solved for teams willing to take the bet on a single codebase. The pieces to build a workspace that does not split the difference are finally on the table.
We are building kov because the same person who needs to write a paragraph also needs to draw the diagram beneath it, and because the next workspace people choose will be the one that lets them stop switching apps.
What we have built.
Where we are.
We are in private beta and onboarding new users week-over-week. Specifics shared on request; the deck has the latest.
Why us.
A small founding team with a stack of shipped product behind us. We have worked across collaborative editors, design tools, and infrastructure: the three areas kov sits between.
We move fast and write a lot. We treat real-time and cross- platform as first-class problems, which is unusual for a team this size, and the reason kov already runs everywhere it needs to.
