Moment

As a company, we @moment_dev have a single ambition: to make it possible to run your entire business out of a Markdown file.

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

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:

Today we're launching v1 of the Moment desktop app: * Our launch blog post: www.moment.dev/blog/moment-v1 * Our new website: www.moment.dev

A Markdown file, really? Yes. Finance people have Excel, lawyers have Word, PMs have Notion. But all of these technologies were built in an era when software was expensive and extremely hard to customize. But that isn't true anymore. The best agents in the world are coding agents—claude, codex, etc.

🧵 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!

Beyond all this, many small bugs and fixes. Forward/backwards buttons, fixes to how delete works next to bullet list, fixes for truncation, decoding, and zombie process bugs in the embedded terminal, fixes to filewatching, fixes for image loading, and many others.

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.

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. 🧵

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 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. 🧵

Changelog 3 is out. Mostly we were busy with Sync Conf, the American holiday known as veteran's day, and 😱 replacing our frontend state management system. 😱 But we are looking forward to some very big product announcements in the next couple weeks. moment.dev/blog/changel...

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:

Right now, this feature is useful only as a very, very simple standalone Postman competitor. In the future, it will be the basis of rich internal tools. Live dashboards, line-of-business apps, release tools... anything you like.

We're starting a changelog! In the first edition: infinite whiteboards, collaborative editing, and like a million bug fixes for code blocks: moment.dev/blog/changel... and 🧵

And that is why we've started giving talks about it! You can see the @cascadiajs.com one here: bsky.app/profile/casc...
