A New Home For The OpenTodoList Documentation

OpenTodoList has a new documentation setup. We have started moving the old website and the user manual into one MkDocs-based site, so downloads, help, sync setup, release notes, and project information can live in one place.

This is not the kind of change that adds a shiny new button inside the app, but it should make a real difference. Good documentation is often the small bridge between "this app looks useful" and "I can actually get started with it".

The old website had grown over time, and the user manual lived somewhere else. That worked, but it made updates harder than they needed to be. With the new site, we can keep the app documentation, platform download notes, project pages, and new posts together.

For now, the important bits are:

  • the manual has a clearer structure,
  • download pages are grouped by platform,
  • historical release posts have been preserved as an archive,
  • new announcements can be published through the MkDocs blog,
  • and the RSS feed is available at /feed.xml, just like before.

We are also keeping redirects in mind so old links should continue to land somewhere useful. There will probably be a few rough edges while the migration settles, but the direction is good: less scattered documentation, more useful entry points, and fewer places where future updates can hide from us.

If you spot a stale page, a confusing paragraph, or a missing link, please open an issue or merge request. Documentation improvements are very welcome, and they usually help more people than one might think.
