Fieldnotes
A Markdown publishing system that makes room for writing, with fast pages and very little machinery.
Node.js / Markdown / Static HTML
The brief
Design a fictional notebook for technical writing. It should be straightforward to publish, comfortable to read, and independent of a database.
A small system
Markdown files hold the content. A build step validates metadata, renders pages, and creates the search index. Categories emerge from the articles instead of requiring a separate configuration step.
Decisions that mattered
The reading experience comes first: sensible line lengths, predictable navigation, and a layout that holds together on a small screen. Search runs in the browser, while ordinary navigation works without JavaScript.
What I would improve
The next iteration would explore better code examples and a clear way to connect related notes. This project is an illustrative portfolio concept, not a claim of client work.
