Field Notes

Field Notes turns a folder of Markdown into a fast, linkable site with zero config. No front-matter rituals, no build pipeline to babysit — your directory structure is the site map.

Most static-site generators ask you to learn their world before you can publish a paragraph. Field Notes flips that: point it at a folder, and the folder is the site. Sub-directories become sections, file names become URLs, and back-links are discovered automatically.

It’s a single Go binary with no dependencies to install and no JavaScript shipped by default. Builds of a few hundred pages finish in well under a second, which keeps the write-save-refresh loop feeling instant.

Your directory structure is the site map.

Keeping the surface area small is the entire design philosophy. Every feature request gets weighed against the question: does this earn its place, or does it just make the tool harder to hold in your head?
