Moment is a powerful, modern docs platform, based entirely on Markdown files that are stored locally on your device.

And it has to be fundamentally backed by git (though, actually, we use jj as the frontend 😇):

And you have to be able to request data from API. We built a Postman-like API client (well, ok, it's Yaak-like, since we think Yaak is much better) to help users quickly build requests up to use them in their docs:

The very best agents are coding agents (like `claude`), so they to be fundamentally programmable. Here, you can see it running in our embedded terminal below:

So what did we launch? Here is a taste. To be truly applicable in team settings, Markdown files can't just be Markdown files. They have to be fundamentally collaborative:

They are good enough that a child can materialize an NES emulator directly out of the ether. We know because we've done it:

This last feature is a little nascent: you can now invoke requests from Markdown pages. `request` pages provide a button to copy the request as a code cell, but really, the utility is that you'll be able to use agent TUIs like `claude` and `amp` to make UI out of it. As here:

To support saner auth stories, we've taught Moment about `.env` files! Make a file per env (`staging.env`, `prod.env`, etc.), put creds in them, use them in `request` pages! Here we have a `GITHUB_TOKEN` in an `.env` file. We reference it as `{{env.GITHUB_TOKEN}}` in the req.

Moment aims to blur the line between knowledge bases and internal tools. To do this, it needs to be easy to build and make network requests. As of this week, `request` pages (Postman-ish, or like a watered-down Yaak) support all of Kubernetes auth. Yes, all of it.

🧵 Changelog 0008. Daily Notes. One of Moment’s most-requested features. The button always shows up in the top left of the docs list. Click it, and it creates a page for today, if one does not exist. The cal shows you which dates have entries. Click to open that date's page!

A simple-looking feature. Fractally complex in practice. To avoid getting paged while the chestnuts are on the open fire, we tried to strike a balance between simplicity and utility. So it is sparing in its functionality for now. We do support simple merge/conflict resolution.

Changelog 0007: Branches. So you can imbue any git repo that contains `.md` files with Google-Docs-like collaboration features, instantly, by adding a `moment.yml` file to it. But git repos have branches. So this week we decided to support them too. 🧵

Changelog 6. Starting now, in a couple clicks, you can turn any git repo with .md files into a live-collaborative doc by adding a `moment.yml` to the root. The desktop app does it for you in 3 clicks. Here, we import kube-prom runbooks and run a shell command in 5 clicks. 🧵

Ok ok, it's a Yaak-style API client. But, you know, without all the features. The idea is: type in a URL, specify headers, params, and a body, and click the Send button. You receive a response. Or, you can paste a cURL command to autopopulate all of these things.

Changelog 2 is out. 🧵 One of our long-term goals is to blur the line between knowledge bases (Confluence, Notion, wikis) and internal tools. To do this you need to be able to get data. To visualize, to manipulate, etc. Thus, a Postman-style API client:

Collaborative text editing. Also very straightforward. Sometimes you want to collaboratively edit a document. It turns out, though, it's less straightforward to get a text editor to run at 60fps even with a lot of editors...

Infinite canvases. Very straightforward. Sometimes you want to draw what you think. We have got you covered.
