In plain English

This repository is the source code for the official Electron website at electronjs.org. Electron is the framework developers use to build desktop apps with web technologies, and this site serves as its documentation and blog hub. The site is built with Docusaurus, a tool designed for building documentation websites. To run it locally you install dependencies with yarn, then start a development server. A production build can also be generated for deployment. The English documentation on the site is not edited here directly. Instead it is automatically pulled in from the main Electron code repository whenever a new stable release is made. So if you want to fix a documentation error, you would do that in the Electron source repository, not here. Translations into other languages are managed through Crowdin, a platform that coordinates volunteer translators. Blog posts are written as Markdown files and placed in the blog folder. Search on the site is provided by Algolia DocSearch, a free search service for open-source documentation projects. The repository also contains a small npm package called create-electron-documentation, which lives in its own subfolder alongside the main website code.
