# nxdns.sh — marketing and docs website plan

Agreed in an interview on 2026-08-15. This directory will hold the site's source.

## Purpose

Convince, then teach. A marketing front page sells the project; the docs sit one click away. mediabunny.dev is the structural model (landing on top, docs behind it), not the visual one.

## Domain and hosting

- Domain: `nxdns.sh` (already owned).
- Host: Cloudflare Pages.
- Deploy: Gitea Actions builds the site on push to master, then `wrangler` uploads the output. A Cloudflare API token lives as a Gitea secret. (Cloudflare Pages has no Gitea integration, so direct upload is the mechanism.)

## Stack and layout

- Astro + Starlight, in this `website/` directory.
- Starlight reads the existing `docs/` Diátaxis tree in place. Docs and code version together; nothing moves or syncs.

## Landing page

Three sections:

1. Hero: one-line pitch and a copyable install command. Releases 0.0.1–0.0.3 exist, so the command is real.
2. Feature grid: filtering, config-as-code, DoH/DoT, per-client groups, metrics, query log.
3. Comparison table vs Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, Technitium — short, only to help people choose.

The pitch leads with what nxdns does, not with attacks on the incumbents. No screenshots.

## Docs section

- The full `docs/` tree (tutorial, how-to, reference, explanation) plus a changelog page rendered from `CHANGELOG.md`.
- `PLAN.md` (root) and `specs/` stay repo-only.
- Pagefind search (Starlight built-in) is on. No analytics. No live demo instance.

## Look

- Clean technical. Light default with a dark toggle.
- Orange/amber accent.
- Brand is the lowercase `nxdns` wordmark in a distinctive typeface. No drawn logo.
- Copy tone: personal / indie, first person — why I built it and what it fixes — in the honest voice the docs already use.

## Links

Source links point to `git.mial.net/mokhtar/nxdns` only. No GitHub mirror.

## Open questions

1. Wordmark typeface — resolve in the design pass.
2. Does the Gitea container registry allow anonymous pulls? That decides whether the hero shows `docker run` or the binary install from INSTALL.md.
3. Fact-check the comparison table against current competitor versions before publication.
