Redesigning CloudCannon’s docs with Diátaxis, Lume, and Pagefind CloudCannon's new documentation site uses the Diátaxis framework to better serve developers and non-technical users with improved structure and search.

Oh, and if you're interested in reading about some of the decisions we made along the way ➡

How can we help?

We just hit "publish" on the new CloudCannon Docs!

We've been rebuilding our documentation site from scratch so devs and editors have their own dedicated paths using the Diátaxis framework.

Built with:
⚡️ @lume.land SSG
🔎 Pagefind for search

Brother needs a blog. I fire up Claude Code on the phone, instructs it to deploy Hugo in a private repo with a theme and Cloudcannon config. I wire things up in Netlify. Blog ready in an afternoon. Brother is pleased.

Thanks for sponsoring Astro, @cloudcannon.bsky.social!
