I built the Cmd+K I kept wishing existed for my own sites

I use Cmd+K for everything—Figma, Slack, Linear, VS Code. It's muscle memory at this point. Type what you want, get there fast. Once you're used to that speed, clicking through navbars feels like walking through mud.

I wanted that same experience on my own websites. But every command palette solution I found required manual configuration—mapping keywords, maintaining search indexes, updating it whenever content changed. I just wanted to drop something in and have it work.

The other problem: traditional site search just matches keywords. I wanted an intelligence layer. Something that could actually read my documentation, understand my content, and respond to what users were asking—not just return a list of blue links.

So I built knav.

It's a Cmd+K experience you can embed on any site, no manual setup. Point it at your content and it indexes everything. The AI layer means users can ask questions in plain language and get actual answers, not just search results.

Why I'm soft launching

My instinct was to rush to Product Hunt and treat launch day as the main event. But I've been rethinking that.

PH isn't going anywhere. But the window to learn from a forgiving audience is small. Soft launching lets me figure out what actually resonates before I burn my one shot at a first impression. Friends and early users will tell me what's broken—strangers just bounce.

Right now I'm sharing it with a small group, collecting feedback, and refining before I go loud.

Where it's at

Live at knav.app. Early but functional. Looking for people who'd want to try it on their own site—especially docs-heavy or content-rich pages.

If that's you, I'd love your feedback.
