The record

Product: Kanka is a community-driven worldbuilding website and RPG campaign manager for organizing ideas, creations, and campaign worlds.
Audience: Kanka says it is for game masters, worldbuilders, players, writers, and content creators, and works with any TTRPG system or no system at all.
Entries and categories: Campaigns support about 20 categories, including characters, locations, families, items, quests, journals, calendars, events, and abilities; categories can be disabled per campaign.
Collaboration: Users can invite members, assign roles, control what members see and do, and preview a campaign from a member’s perspective.
Worldbuilding tools: Features include linked relations, timelines, custom calendars, interactive maps with layers and pins, and a rich-text editor with @mentions.
Premium features: Premium campaigns can use community plugins, custom CSS and themes, family trees, role-specific dashboards, and webhooks that send updates to Discord and other tools.
Integrations and API: The REST API is available to all accounts and supports integrations such as scripts, campaign backups, Discord bots, dashboards, VTT integrations, and data synchronization.
API limit: The API documentation lists a default limit of 30 requests per minute and 90 requests per minute for subscribers.
Hosting and security: Kanka says its servers and user data are hosted in the EU, user data is encrypted in transit via SSL, and database backups are made twice daily and regularly tested.
Data export: Kanka says users can download their content anytime and export a whole campaign.
Self-hosting: Kanka’s free version can be self-hosted, but premium features such as larger uploads, plugins, and custom CSS are unavailable there, and the team does not provide self-hosting support.
Mobile: Kanka says it has no dedicated mobile app, but its interface adapts to smaller screens and features work on mobile devices.
Support: The team says it handles user emails and Discord messages, and its knowledge base directs bug reports and user help requests to Discord.
Team and history: Kanka says Jay created it in October 2017 and serious work began in 2020 when Jon joined; the About page identifies Jay as founder and lead developer and Jon as co-founder and business manager.
