In Obsidian you can disable almost all of the UI very easily in settings.
Only the Hider plugin did 'most' of the job. But yeah, Obsidian is good with this (with plugins)

Notion should enter "keyboard mode" as you start to type and fade out the header bar. You'll still need to close the sidebar since it's quite busy and we don't fade it automatically since it has an explicit toggle. I guess if you're building your own there's still too much noise. Good luck!
Yeah, that's a nice touch. Though the reading experience is also important. Notion is obviously super powerful and a more cluttered UI is hence probably unavoidable.

I wonder how a real-world pen/equivalent of this would feel like to write or draw with.

For me one of the biggest issues with Notion (and to a smaller extent with Obsidian as well) is its ever present UI. When I write (or read) something, I don't want to see 20+ buttons scattered around distracting me from the content.
IA writer got this right, but it's too local and doesn't have colab or better online sync features. Shameless plug – I'm building https://kraa.io/about that's trying to be a writing app with a minimal, yet feature-rich, UI. (better offline and local-files functionality planned)

I remember being literally 12 when google docs was launched, which featured real-time sync, and a collaborative cursor. I remember thinking that this is how all web experience will be in the future, at the time 'cloud computing' was the buzzword - I (incorrectly) thought realtime collaboration was the very definition of cloud computing.
And then it just... never happened. 20 years went by, and most web products are still CRUD experiences, such as this site included.
The funny thing is it feels like it's been on the verge of becoming mainstream for all this time. When meteor.js got popular I was really excited, and then with react surely it was gonna happen - but even now, it's still not the default choice for new software.
I'm still really excited to see it happen, and I do think it will happen eventually - it's just trickier than it looks, and it's tricky to make the tooling so cheap that it's worth it in all situations.
I feel the same way. The initial magic of real-timeness felt like a glimpse into a future that... where is it?
I'm still excited about the prospects of it — shameless plug: actually building a tool with one-of-a-kind messaging experience that's truly real-time in the Google docs collaboration way (no compose box, no send button): https://kraa.io/hackernews
levmiseri commented on Ask HN: Is it time to fork HN into AI/LLM and "Everything else/other?" · Posted by u/bookofjoe
I have seen this question asked on subreddits, Not about AI, but for other topics that some people dislike.
They always seem to take the form of "Should we divide this group into A and B, A stays here and B goes over there and that way everybody is happy"
Invariably the person who proposes this wants to remain in group A and will not be a participant in group B.
To me this seems like the subtext is "Those people are not welcome here, they are not like us. It's not like we have anything against them, we just don't want them ramming it down our throats"
Anyone is free to make a website with whatever content they want, they can invite people to it and grow your own community. Directing a community to divide to remove an element you dislike is an attempt to appropriate the established community.

This is very hard to do. But hey, I'll give it a try.

Looks great, what motivated you to build this?
Thanks! This idea was brewing in our heads for a while. And some of the use cases Kraa supports and we wanted to use simply didn't exist.
