My ideal writing experience is one where there is nothing in the way of writing.
For me, that means as close to hand-writing a manuscript as possible, without the pain of extended hours of pressing hard with a pen or pencil.
From there, I may want to share my writing, or not. If so, then I want the process of moving what I've written from the initial medium to online and publicly accessible to be as quick and painless as possible.
If not, then... I just want it to be a file. Something I can save, archive, move, or whatever, like any other file.
It sounds like, given my context, Kraa is not designed for me.
I am interested in hearing from people who feel like Kraa solves a problem for them. I'd like to understand the difference in creative environment!
From what you have written, it actually sounds like Kraa 'might' be for you.

With Kraa this is a matter of one click.

And this is more nuanced, but Kraa isn't using any proprietary file system. You can export your leaves to .md any time. Though it's not the same as e.g. Obsidian where it is literally a local file.

Excuse me, do you have a minute to talk about fountain pens?
I recommend a Lamy Safari or Pilot Kakuno to start. If the nib is good, no pressure at all is required to write. You have to retrain to relax your hand and arm if you're used to ballpoints and graphite. High quality paper is not required but it can make a big difference too.
As far as digital, .txt will always have a special place in my hard drive. As long as a tool has a way to export into plaintext, I am not opposed to using it.
