The site export feature is ready

Published: February 11, 2026

Hi!

Yesterday, I posted paperboat.website on Hacker News. I've been reading HN for years but never posted something. I got really nice feedback, good questions and some suggestions. It's really exciting that so many people decided to give paperboat.website a try. I'm always open for feature suggestions! I'm happy you're here.

One of them was the export feature I've been working on. The simpler part of it is now implemented and live. Go to a site's settings and you'll find the export button. It'll generate a zip file with all your pages, posts and files that belong to them. The file format is Markdown so that you can archive it the way you want or move your content somewhere else.

If you need the export to behave differently, just shoot me a mail and we'll figure it out.

The Markdown export feature will remain free. I'm also working on a full export feature that will produce entire HTML sites that you can deploy elsewhere. That feature will likely be part of the membership features.

All the best

Marv
