Quarterly Objectives – Q2 2026 After our successful introduction of quarterly objectives for Q1, we’re back with some big plans for the next 3 months. Outcome 1 – Kanka is faster and easier to navigate Kanka should get out of the way and let users worldbuild faster, rather than overload them with choices. Pages should load fast. Editing things should…

Version 3.10 – Everything you’ve ever wanted With our quarterly bets for Q1 finished, we are now focusing on user submitted requests on the roadmap. New category lists By far our biggest rework project of the year, we’ve re-written most of the code related to category lists (listing your world’s characters, locations, maps, or custom categories). What was until now 6 separate…

Developer Log #7 1. What we shipped We’ve pushed a few improvements and fixed a few bugs with the new experimental text editor, fixed some texts which still referenced the old terminology, and overall just did some light polishing work following the massive release we did last week. I also fixed a lot of page titles and meta…

With this update, we’ve rethought the words we use to describe your content, making…

The idea is simple: each month, we go through the applications, pick a handful of worlds that caught our eye, and give them a proper spotlight…

Monthly Worldbuilding Challenge #2 February’s challenge had Indoril Mora dive deep into a fallen Dwarven civilisation, the Daruz-Khalär, and the Oathkeeper: a sentient weapon carrying the souls of a Dwarf, a Drow, and a High Elf whose peoples once intersected around those ruins. Interconnected entities, a historian narrator, political revisionism baked into an artefact. Chef’s kiss. Thank you Indoril…

Developer Log #6 1. What we shipped Nothing exciting yet. We fixed a bunch of bug fixes to campaign imports, and api validations. We’ve also been testing a new starter kit for new acounts that hopefully better showcases some of Kanka’s cool features. We’ll share stats about that once we have enough data! 2. What we’re working on…

Developer Log #5 1. What we shipped Following last week’s release of 3.8, this week we focused on fixing bugs that went undetected in our testing. On a personal note, I have family visiting which also means that I couldn’t comfortably ship a bunch of new toys for you all to worldbuild with. As a reminder, you can…

Version 3.8 – Collabroative whiteboards & Referrals Please join us in welcome our first release of 2026! Collaborative whiteboards When we introduced whiteboards, we mentioned that a collaborative aspect would take a while. And boy did it take a while, but it’s here! Whiteboards no longer have a “save” button but each action, move, rotation, colour change, etc gets sent directly to…
