Monome docs rework

it’s new: monome.org/docs

  • search
  • sidebar nav
  • restructured

that last point is going to raise some issues with existing links from external sources (such as here) but the other two points should alleviate the panic.

i moved things around largely based on the fact that the original structure was based on the singular existence of grids— i moved relevant things into a grid subtree, and promoted all devices to a root level page. so, now teletype lives at docs/teletype instead of docs/modular/teletype. please alert us to scattered links that need to be corrected.

comments, corrections, and PRs welcome.

@Dan_Derks and i are going to now address a content overhaul of the norns section (!)

update: @simonvanderveldt pointed out that redirects can be added, so this should be less painful. can work on this later this afternoon (though happy if someone can jump in)

EDIT: it works (for teletype at least). will try to crawl through the other relocates. please post if you land on a missed link.

it looks so good!

there is a link to a tutorial I made for Kria meta-sequencing in the docs that I thought we had updated a couple months or so back, but it appears to be back to the old defunct link. It should link here. :blush:

also thanks @Oootini for introducing us to just the docs (and thanks to pmarsceill for creating it!)

@simonvanderveldt thanks for the tip! redirects work.

just need to add in the top section (of teletype/index.md for example):

redirect_from: /modular/teletype

note that /docs is left off.

need to go through more of the files later.

very nice!

will these be moving? https://monome.org/norns/doc/index.html

those are the API docs and really need a proper relocation elsewhere… haven’t decided yet. @ppqq

right. and with re-directs we may have more flexibility.

@speakerdamage: thoughts on where you’d expect them to be?

#11

I guess now I would expect them to live under the new docs - especially to take advantage of search.

looks like @tehn and @Dan_Derks are going to be updating norns docs now, but figured I’d point out anyway that studies 2-5 need to be redirected: https://monome.org/docs/norns/study-2/

thank you caulen!

for historians + those watching at home, these files had permalinks which referenced /docs/norns/study-X.md, which ended up resolving into docs/docs/norns/study-X.md. removing the preceding /docs from the permalink cleared up the issue!

Yay! Docs look great.

This is such an amazing developpement for resources about monome. It was so tricky sometimes to find the right infos, or get a sense of the entire available documentation to easily dive in out of curiosity, both those things are answered here. I wish I could help more but can only say thanks. But just, to me, this is as fundamental, exciting and crucial to the monome ecosystem than a new release / new hardware.
