Who Notepub Is For
Typical use cases, team fit, and where Notepub is not the best choice.
Great fit
- Writers and teams that keep content in Markdown.
- Obsidian users that want wikilink-friendly publishing.
- Documentation and knowledge-base projects that need static output.
- Projects needing transparent, Git-based content review.
Possible fit with extra work
- Large multi-site deployments using custom CI and theme systems.
- Catalog-like websites that need declarative grouping and link graph logic.
Poor fit
- Teams requiring built-in WYSIWYG editorial workflow, drafts approval UI, and role permissions in-app.
- Highly dynamic products where server-side app logic is the core product (Notepub is a publishing engine, not a full app platform).
Why teams choose it
- Predictable output from plain text + YAML rules.
- No database schema migrations for content changes.
- Portable stack: Markdown + templates + static artifacts.
