Documentation types

This project consists of several distinct documentation types with specific purposes, inspired by a documentation framework called Diátaxis. When proposing new additions to the project please pick the appropriate documentation type.

Developer Tutorials

Provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up a local instance of Hypha.

Write technical documentation with a new developer in mind. Create a quickstart doc wherever possible. What is the bare minimum information that a user needs to get started with the feature that you are documenting? Start there.

User Guides

Guides are focused on accomplishing a specific task and can assume some level of prerequisite knowledge. There may be multiple approaches to accomplishing a task, and we welcome your input.

Other adopters like the Digital Freedom Fund and Open Technology Fund have created platform guides specific to their application processes.

Discussions

Discussions are focused on understanding and information exchange. These explore a specific topic without a specific goal in mind. https://we.hypha.app/
