A corner of the web of your own. A few lines, under your name.
Your notes already make a site: only you see it. The day a page deserves to be read, you make it public, and your friends get a link. No platform, no feed, no audience to feed.
From your notes to a page.
1
You note for yourself.
In Carnet, a book’s or a film’s page keeps your working notes: quotes, dated remarks. It stays private, always.
2
You write for others.
Beside it, the public side: a few lines in your own words. Maurice never writes it for you.
3
You publish.
One gesture, some fifteen seconds, and the page is online. Another gesture, and it is not.
Public, private or encrypted.
A note is published only if you marked it public. Your working notes, your drafts, the articles you have not opened, what Maurice wrote about your correspondents never enter the published site: an automated test checks it in every release.
A note can also be encrypted: published, but readable only by those you gave the password to.

Change your mind whenever you like, note by note.
A site that looks like you.
Your public pages live at your Maurice’s address, under your name. They read in one of Maurice’s themes: manuscript, botanical, newsprint or terminal, chosen in the app.
Links between your notes work as they do in Obsidian. And to read and work on your notes elsewhere, you can take a full copy of them, with their history.
- Your readers need no account and no app: a link is enough.
- No counters, no likes, no followers to chase.
- Children have no public pages.
- A domain name of your own: not yet on a hosted Maurice.
You publish when you have something to say.
