Site experience

Search, graph, and themes

Interactive note-site experiences can still be static. Search indexes, graph payloads, CSS, and client scripts are uploaded as ordinary deployment assets.

What this means

Ship static search indexes, graph data, and theme assets with the deployment.

Static search index files
Graph data and navigation payloads
Theme CSS and client-side enhancements

Interactive without a server build

Client-side search or graph exploration can run from static JSON and JavaScript generated by the Kiln client.

Theme assets as files

Themes, fonts, and scripts are part of the same validated deployment tree.

Works with privacy constraints

Only files intended for public serving need to cross the publish boundary.
