Aubade avoids rigidity and prescription. it focuses on clarity and composability, letting you shape content structures to your needs rather than bending your work to fit the tool.
behind the name
Aubade /ō-ˈbäd/ appears in Made in Abyss as "Supreme Treasures of the Netherworld" — rare artifacts of immense power and versatility. the word is also French for "dawn serenade", a song at daybreak. together, the two origins suggest both practicality and poetry — qualities Aubade aims to carry into its design.
own your data
content should outlive any framework. Aubade treats files as the source of truth, with first-class support for markdown and front matter — formats that keep your work portable and free of lock-in.
separation of concerns
mixing prose and application logic in the same place quickly becomes unmanageable. by isolating content, projects remain easier to maintain and scale: writers can edit markdown, developers can work on code, and neither side has to step on the other.
