How we migrated 30k users off legacy auth without a single forced logout
A four-month rolling migration: dual-write, shadow read, gradual cutover. Here's the runbook, the rollback plan, and the three things that almost broke us.

What just happened. Three fields became seven
crawler-readable signals: title tag, meta description, og:title,
og:description, og:image, twitter:card, sitemap entry. Knovya wires
all seven from the same source — you write once, every surface stays
in sync.

Seven components, one published page.
Every note you publish exposes the same seven crawler-, social-, and reader-friendly surfaces. Most are free. The richer ones unlock on Pro.
Handle-prefixed slug
Your published note lives at knovya.com/@your-handle/your-slug. The handle is yours; the slug is per-note. Server-rendered, no JavaScript shell, indexable on day one.

Per-page SEO meta
Title tag, meta description, canonical link, language, robots directive — set independently on every note. Not site-wide. Not homepage-only. Per page.
title · description · canonical · robots
Auto-generated Open Graph image
Knovya generates a 1200×630 share card from your title and handle the moment you publish — Twitter, LinkedIn, Slack, iMessage all preview cleanly. Upload your own when you want.

Mobile-perfect, reading-first
Reading progress bar, scroll-spy table of contents, dark mode by system, optimized line-height — your note reads like a magazine on a phone, not a raw markdown dump.

Sitemap on autopilot
Every published note is added to your sitemap.xml automatically — and removed the moment you unpublish. JSON-LD article schema is auto-injected on render. Search engines see a real article, not a div soup.

AI summary block
A two-paragraph reader-aware summary at the top of the public note — generated once on publish, regenerated on edit. Helps the casual visitor decide whether to scroll. Knovya is the only PKM publishing layer that ships this by default.

Expiration · password · analytics
Set a date and the note unpublishes itself. Set a password and visitors must enter it. Visitor analytics are privacy-first: pageview, referrer summary, country aggregate. No third-party scripts.

Your knowledge deserves a real webpage —
not a $10/mo paywall and a half-finished SEO field.
Publishing a note publicly is a solved problem — or so the marketing pages say. Then you sit down to do it.
Obsidian Publish is a paid add-on at $8 to $10 per month, per site. Notion Sites lets you publish — but the SEO meta editor only works on your homepage, every subpage inherits the same title and description. Roam, Logseq, Mem.ai have no native publishing layer at all. Super.so is $16 per site per month for the design polish Notion forgot. The whole category is held together with paywalls and missing fields.

First mover
Nobody else ships per-page SEO + free + PKM-native.
The shortest summary of the publishing landscape: every alternative makes you pay, makes you compromise on SEO, or doesn't ship publishing at all. Knovya is the first to refuse all three trade-offs at once.
- Obsidian Publish $8–10/mo · per-page SEO ✓ · paywalled
- Notion Sites paid plan + $8/mo domain · homepage-only SEO
- Super.so $16/site/mo · third-party Notion shell
- Roam Research no native publish · community plugins only
- Logseq no native publish · static export only
- ★ Knovya Share Notes free for 1 · per-page SEO · auto OG · SSR
A published note shows up everywhere it should.
Hit Publish once. The page renders to the browser, the SERP, the social card, and the sitemap — all from the same source.
Server-rendered HTML on first paint. Reading progress bar, scroll-spy table of contents, dark mode by system. The note reads like a long-form article — because that's what it is.

A few honest answers.
How is this different from Obsidian Publish?
Obsidian Publish is a paid add-on that costs $8 to $10 per month per site. Knovya Share Notes is free for one public link, with unlimited links on Pro. Both let you set per-page SEO meta and connect a custom domain. Knovya additionally generates an OG image per note automatically and ships an AI summary block on Pro — features that require manual setup or third-party plugins on Obsidian Publish.
How does this compare to Notion Sites?
Notion Sites lets you publish any page publicly, but its SEO meta editor only works for the homepage of your site — every subpage and blog post inherits the same title and description. Knovya lets you set meta title, meta description, OG image, and slug independently on every published note. For content sites where each page needs to rank for its own keywords, this is the difference between ranking and not ranking.
Is publishing free?
Yes. Every Knovya account — free included — can publish one public link with full SEO control: per-page meta, auto-generated OG image, sitemap entry, JSON-LD schema, mobile-perfect rendering. Pro unlocks unlimited public links, link expiration, password protection, AI summary blocks, visitor analytics, and custom domains.
Does it have proper SEO?
Yes — per page. Every published note exposes editable meta title, meta description, OG image, and slug. Pages are server-rendered (Astro 5 with Node SSR), JSON-LD article schema is auto-injected, and a sitemap.xml updates whenever you publish or unpublish. Search engines see a real article — not a JavaScript shell that loads after a second.
Can I use a custom domain?
Yes, on Pro. Point a domain you own to Knovya and your notes publish to your domain — your SEO equity, not Knovya's. The default URL pattern is knovya.com/@your-handle/your-slug, which is also fine for indexing on the free plan. Knovya inherits no part of your domain authority — you own everything that ranks.
Can I unpublish a note?
Anytime. Toggle Publish off and the public URL returns 410 Gone, search engines drop it from their index over the next crawl, and Knovya removes the slug from your sitemap immediately. You can also set an expiration date when publishing — the note unpublishes itself on the date you choose. No leftovers.
What about password protection and analytics?
Pro feature. Set a password on any published note and visitors must enter it to read — useful for client deliverables, embargoed content, or private knowledge shared link-only. Visitor analytics are privacy-first: pageview count, referrer summary, country aggregate. No personal tracking, no third-party scripts injected into your pages.
How does the OG image get generated?
A 1200×630 share card is rendered server-side from your meta title and handle the moment you publish. It uses Knovya's design system — the same gradients you see on this page. Upload your own image when you want a custom card; Knovya uses it instead. Either way, every social platform unfurls cleanly.
Publish your first note in 60 seconds.
Free for one link, with full per-page SEO. Unlimited links, custom domain, password protection, and analytics on Pro.
