Earlier this year, we introduced Chowa (pronounced like "flow-a")—our collaborative text editor built for real-time teamwork. Chowa lets writers co-author stories seamlessly, leaving comments, suggesting edits, and working together in one shared space. It's been a game-changer for teams who want to write together without the chaos of endless email threads and version control nightmares. Now, we're taking it a step further by giving you widgets!
Chowa Widgets and new Chowa tools are now live! The editor is now full-height, smoother, with CSS tweaks, and the comments section is upgraded so you can leave all your notes for co-authors. All icons in the Chowa Toolbar now come from the Pixelated Library, giving that classic HackerNoon look. But the real upgrades? Those are the widgets.
