Website & Docs

This website is built using Docusaurus 3.0, a modern static website generator.

Information Architecture

We try to keep routes consistent to maintain SEO.

• /guides/: Guides on how to use the Jan application. For end users who are directly using Jan.

• /developer/: Developer docs on how to extend Jan. These pages are about what people can build with our software.

• /api-reference/: Reference documentation for the Jan API server, written in Swagger/OpenAPI format.

• /changelog/: A list of changes made to the Jan application with each release.

• /blog/: A blog for the Jan application.

Sidebar Autogeneration

The order of each page is either explicitly defined in sidebar.js or follows the Docusaurus autogenerated naming format, ##-path-name.md.

Important slugs are hardcoded at the document level (and shouldn't be rerouted):

---
title: Overview
slug: /docs
---
