Am I the only person who can’t figure out what Craft does from their “revised” website? I spent about 20 minutes looking through the website this morning and it seems like it’s a web page editor that focuses on having fancy templates.
I seem to remember checking it out a year or so ago and it seemed like it was a more interesting app, but I can’t remember the details.

Chris, l ooked at the website just now, and I am not sure what Craft does either, or how to describe it. Best I could come up with is page design and layout - with elements of presentation (PowerPoint, etc., and desktop publishing.

The problem with the website is that they are emphasizing the presentation of pages created in Craft, rather than focusing on what I see as Craft’s main advantage: It is like a word processor with Roam-like powers to link material, although the web version is not quite as sophisticated in this regard as the MacOS app. So, it is a good information management suite if you want to write more complete paragraphs, rather than parsing your information into individual nodes, as Roam or Obsidian prompt you to do.
But like those two apps, Craft has a nice daily note feature.
It does NOT have the graphing function of Roam or Obsidian, but I have never found that a useful feature.
It is being continually updated, so I do not see it as a mature app just yet.

The landing page is a fair overview, and you can learn more in-depth for Individual and Enterprise users on separate pages.

I know one person who was very confused by what they thought was Craft’s website, but it turned out they’d gone to craft.io which is a different product, with a more muddled website.
