A practical example
Harbor Notebook — original fictional blog
Start with
Four authored pages use YAML and TOML dates, a linked SVG figure, duplicate headings, a .html route, one alias, a draft and a future publication.
Get this result
Two published articles at /notes/tide/ and /notes/gear.html, an alias at /old-tide/, and a neutral index. The gauge SVG stays byte-identical; reading/reading-1 heading IDs, caption emphasis and credit, and date offsets are retained. The two unpublished pages stay outside dist. All four authored articles receive native comparison.

How it works
Capture a source baseline
Try the included example or capture a trusted working copy at a deliberate publication date.
Review and compare
Inspect the carried Markdown and routes, then build Astro and compare the rendered articles.
Download the handoff
Save the editable starter, built site and proof. Rebuild independently before your own deployment.
Before you buy
- Linux x64 with Node.js 22.12+ and desktop Chrome. The accepted environment used Node 22.22.2 and Chrome 152.
- Extract the entire buyer ZIP and keep its bundled files together. The sample needs no account or dependency download.
- Use a trusted copy of your Hugo source and the documented capture template. Keep the original project untouched.
- Read the supported-content limits before capturing a real site. This tool does not convert a whole Hugo theme.
Extract the complete PostCarry-1.0.0.zip on Linux x64. With Node.js 22.12+ installed, run node start.mjs in its folder and open the printed localhost address in Chrome. Choose Try Harbor Notebook for the first run. Tested runtime dependencies and Hugo are bundled.
Compatibility & limits
Linux x64 and Node.js 22.12+ are required. Tested with Node 22.22.2, Chrome 152, Hugo 0.167.0 and Astro 7.3.5. Other hosts and Hugo versions are unverified. Up to 500 Markdown pages, 5,000 source files and 250 MiB of source plus captured article HTML. Each recognized text or article HTML file is limited to 1 MiB, each binary asset to 20 MiB and each serialized baseline to 360 MiB. Supports single-language YAML/TOML pages and leaf bundles, documented metadata, and the documented figure/ref/relref/highlight shortcode options. Unknown fields or constructs stop export. Capture runs Hugo against a trusted working copy using the manual’s article, title and date template. The browser review does not execute imported templates or scripts. Includes a neutral article layout. Your theme, homepage design, navigation, taxonomy styling, RSS, comments, search, multilingual setup, modules and deployment are not migrated. Raw HTML, custom render hooks or shortcodes, branch bundles, reference-style links, footnotes and expiry scheduling are excluded. External links are retained but not visited; remote assets are not fetched. Imported SVG files are retained as originals and need your own review before deployment. Draft and future articles and their resources stay outside the built public site. The full baseline and editable handoff still contain private source metadata and unpublished material: inspect them before sharing. Verification describes one captured source and generated build. It is not a promise of universal compatibility, search ranking or accessibility compliance. After editing the exported project, the old proof no longer verifies your changes. The app and its sample run locally with bundled dependencies. Independently rebuilding an exported Astro project requires npm ci with network access once. No hosting or deployment service is included.
