syncthing/website

This repository contains the source code for the Syncthing project's official website. Syncthing is a tool that lets you synchronize files between your own devices without relying on a cloud service. This repo doesn't contain the file-sharing software itself, just the public-facing website that visitors see when they want to learn about it, download it, or read the documentation. The site is built using a static site generator called Hugo. In practical terms, that means the website's pages are written as simple text files rather than complex application code. When someone wants to preview the site locally, they run a command that serves the website on their own computer. As they edit the text files in the content folder, the browser automatically refreshes to show the changes immediately. When those edits are committed and pushed to the repository, the website is automatically deployed so the public sees the updates. The people who would use this are contributors to the open-source project who want to fix a typo, add a new documentation page, or update information about the software. For example, if a new version of the file-sharing tool is released and the download links need updating, someone would edit the relevant files here. Adding a brand-new top-level page requires touching a navigation file to add the link, but otherwise the workflow is mostly just editing text in the content folder. The project keeps things deliberately simple. There's no build pipeline to configure, no database, and no server-side code to maintain. Everything is static text and templates, which makes it straightforward for non-developers to contribute. The content is published under a Creative Commons license, meaning anyone is free to share and adapt the material as long as they give appropriate credit.
