Welcome to Stacknote
Stacknote is designed for technical writing that values clarity and character. It gives a personal engineering blog a recognizable visual voice without turning every page into a product landing page.
A complete reading experience
The reading page keeps the article at the center while still providing a table of contents, highlighted code, responsive tables, related articles, and strong keyboard focus states.
func main() {
fmt.Println("field-tested notes")
}The same design carries through the homepage, archives, tags, search results, and author page. Local covers are processed by Hugo into responsive WebP variants, while articles without images keep a deliberate text-first layout.
A technical theme should make careful writing easier to read, not compete with it.
Built for real publishing
Articles work with or without cover images, descriptions, or extensive metadata. Sensible fallbacks keep older posts readable, while richer front matter improves cards and social previews when it is available.
| Content feature | What Stacknote does |
|---|---|
| Local cover | Generates responsive WebP variants |
| Remote cover | Renders the original URL directly |
| Description | Reuses it for cards, search, and metadata |
| Tags | Powers topic browsing and related posts |
| Headings | Builds an optional table of contents |
A theme that stays out of the repository
Every template can be overridden from the site project. You can keep Stacknote as a Git submodule, customize only the pieces that are genuinely yours, and still pull later theme updates cleanly.
