Hi HN! We at Moment[1] are working on Notion alternative which is (1) rich and collaborative, but (2) also just plain-old Markdown files, stored in git (ok, technically in jj), on local disk. We think the era of rigid SaaS UI is, basically, over: coding agents (`claude`, `amp`, `copilot`, `opencode`, etc.) are good enough now that they instantly build custom UI that fits your needs exactly. The very best agents in the world are coding agents, and we want to allow people to simply use them, e.g., to build little internal tools—but without compromising on collaboration.

Moment aims to cover this and other gaps: seamless collaborative editing for teams, more robust programming capabilities built in (including a from-scratch React integration), and tools for accessing private APIs.

A lot of our challenge is just in making the collaborative editing work really well. We have found this is a lot harder than simply slapping Yjs on the frontend and calling it a day. We wrote about this previously and the post[2] did pretty well on HN: Lies I was Told About Collaborative editing (352 upvotes as of this writing). Beyond that, in part 2, we'll talk about the reasons we found it hard to get collab to run at 60fps consistently—for one, the Yjs ProseMirror bindings completely tear down and re-create the entire document on every single collaborative keystroke.

We hope you will try it out! At this stage even negative feedback is helpful. :)

Background: I've been working on agentic guardrails because agents act in expensive/terrible ways and something needs to be able to say "Maybe don't do that" to the agents, but guardrails are almost impossible to enforce with the current way things are built.

Context: We keep running into so many problems/limitations today with MCP. It was created so that agents have context on how to act in the world, it wasn't designed to become THE standard rails for agentic behavior. We keep tacking things on to it trying to improve it, but it needs to die a SOAP death so REST can rise in it's place. We need a standard protocol for whenever an agent is taking action. Anywhere.

I'm almost certainly the wrong person to design this, but I'm seeing more and more people tack things on to MCP rather than fix the underlying issues. The fastest way to get a good answer is to submit a bad one on the internet. So here I am. I think we need a new protocol. Whether it's AAP or something else, I submit my best effort.

Please rip it apart, lets make something better.
