Publish your notes

Export notes as a self-contained static website you can host anywhere. There is no publishing service.

Scaffold can turn some or all of your notes into a small website. It is an export: you receive a folder (or a zip) and host it yourself, on any static host or even from a USB stick. There is no Scaffold-hosted publishing service, so there is nothing to subscribe to.

How to publish

Enable the Publish as website module in settings if it is off.
Run the publish command and choose what to include: individual notes, folders, or everything inside one folder (that folder becomes the site root).
Set the site title and the colour theme: light, dark, or follow the visitor’s system.
Choose whether to copy the images, audio, video and PDFs your notes use.
Optionally enter the public address of the site (for example https://example.com/notes). That enables canonical links and a sitemap.xml.
Save the result as a folder or download the zip.

What you get

One .html page per note, keeping your folder structure.
An index.html home page.
A navigation tree and client-side search (site.js and a search index), working without any server.
Your attachments, if you included them.
sitemap.xml when you provided a public address.

Private by construction

The pages make no external requests: no remote fonts, scripts or trackers. A strict Content-Security-Policy is embedded in every page.
Raw HTML inside notes is escaped, not executed.
Links to notes you did not publish are shown as plain text instead of dead links, and the export lists warnings for anything it skipped.

Hosting it

Any static host works:

Upload the folder to a static hosting service, or push it to a repository that serves static pages.
Copy it to a web server or an object-storage bucket configured for static sites.
Open index.html straight from disk for a private, offline copy.

Re-run the export whenever you want to update the site, then upload the result again. Scaffold does not remember where you published, and it never uploads anything itself.
