Docs Maintenance

The public docs live in the app repo so documentation changes can ship with behavior changes.

Update Docs When You Change

  • A Tauri command.
  • A new component or hook that changes user behavior.
  • A data model or frontmatter convention.
  • Git, AI, onboarding, or release behavior.
  • Public release pages, download metadata, or updater channels.
  • Platform support.
  • Keyboard shortcuts.

Suggested Workflow

  1. Make the code change.
  2. Update the matching concept, guide, or reference page.
  3. Add a troubleshooting page if the change creates a new failure mode.
  4. Run pnpm docs:build.
  5. Check the home page, search, release/download links, and changed docs pages in a browser.

Page Types

TypePurpose
StartHelps a new user get into the app.
ConceptsExplains mental models.
GuidesTeaches workflows.
ReferenceGives stable facts and tables.
TroubleshootingStarts from a symptom and ends with recovery.

Review Checklist

  • Does the page describe current behavior?
  • Does it mention macOS primary and Windows/Linux supported-early status when platform support matters?
  • Are links relative and VitePress-compatible?
  • Can a user discover the page with local search?

Free and open source. Local-first, Git-first, and Markdown-based.
