XB Field Notes is an independently maintained collection of practical notes about static websites, infrastructure, and routine operations.
The site is intentionally small, but it is not a mock product page:
- pages are generated from Markdown with a pinned Hugo and PaperMod version;
- downloads are plain text examples that can be inspected before use;
- there are no accounts, advertising scripts, analytics, comments, or simulated activity;
- examples avoid private keys, tokens, personal data, and environment-specific credentials.
New notes are original summaries written from public standards and vendor manuals. The sources index names those references and records when they were checked. Quoted material is kept to the minimum needed to identify a rule; the linked source remains authoritative.
The diagrams and cover illustrations are original SVG files generated with the site’s own deterministic script. They use no third-party image service, tracking pixel, remote font, or copied brand artwork. The home visual and image cards use subtle motion from the site’s own stylesheet, while the page itself remains JavaScript-free.
The examples describe general techniques rather than a managed service or a support commitment. Paths, host names, certificates, and policies must be reviewed before use in another environment.
The theme is vendored from PaperMod at a pinned release and its MIT license is included in the source repository. Site changes are listed in the changelog.
