Features

Hash-Based URLs

Pages use hash URLs for privacy:

Write normal paths in Markdown - auto-converted:

[Setup Guide](/guides/setup)

Find all URLs: npm run show-urls

Commands

npm run dev              # Development server
npm run build            # Build for production
npm run validate:payload # Check configuration
npm run show-urls        # List all hash URLs
