Rollout of the new docs look is done!

We have earlier stated the full freshening plan for all project documentation when it comes to projects, together with the rollout plan for this improvement. This improvement includes a new documentation look, which will make the docs easier to read with condensed sections, improved appearance, and more.

Now, we are very excited to announce the availability of the new look of docs for all projects!

The whole plan is now complete, but that doesn’t mean that this is the end of improvements; this is just the beginning, and improvements will be endless as we evaluate our docs and make them more fresh.

The new documentation look is now live on the official docs website, which you can access here.

The new look for Aptivi documentation is now live! 🎉

Nitrocid’s old revived docs are now available!

We’ve just released Nitrocid 0.2.0 as part of the huge milestone today, alongside the branding kit. But, there is still more for this huge milestone!

The biggest thing has happened since the history of Nitrocid! We’ve managed to revive the old documentation of Nitrocid from version 0.0.6 to 0.0.23, which were released from 2019 to 2022. Now, the docs for those versions are now available in our GitBook instance!

Our excitement has reached the top, and this has got to be the biggest and the greatest preservation plan we’ve ever planned in the history of Nitrocid!

In our GitBook documentation, the following versions are now available:

• 0.0.6.x: June 19th, 2019
• 0.0.7.x: August 30th, 2019
• 0.0.8 RC1: January 16th, 2020
• 0.0.8 RC2: February 1st, 2020
• 0.0.8 RC3: February 11th, 2020
• 0.0.8.x: February 22nd, 2020
• 0.0.9.x: April 23rd, 2020
• 0.0.10.x: May 19th, 2020
• 0.0.11.x: July 25th, 2020
• 0.0.12.x: November 6th, 2020
• 0.0.13.x: December 20th, 2020
• 0.0.14.x: January 21st, 2021
• 0.0.15.x: February 22nd, 2021
• 0.0.16.x: June 12th, 2021
• 0.0.17.x: July 4th, 2021
• 0.0.18.x: August 2nd, 2021
• 0.0.19.x: August 24th, 2021
• 0.0.20.x: February 22nd, 2022
• 0.0.21.x: April 28th, 2022
• 0.0.22.x: June 12th, 2022
• 0.0.23.x: July 12th, 2022

When we’ve released their documentation as part of the preservation project, we’ve preserved the history of how Nitrocid was documented when we first introduced it. It went from being a “booklet” for the project to a huge library of documentation, and most of the work traced back to our plan to refine the documentation for the first beta of 0.1.0 released on February 2023!

You can now take a look at the list of obsolete Nitrocid manuals by pressing the below button:

The documentation will be easier to navigate

The GitBook documentation for our projects will be easier to navigate than before. We have made earlier statements about how we’ll schedule changes made to the GitBook docs for all our projects, starting from Nitrocid.

We are using different elements to make our documentation easier to navigate, that is, turning walls of text and long doc pages to expandable sections to make key information stand out and to shorten long pages in a way that makes the docs more comprehensive.

As we are reaching the huge milestone day, the docs will become easier to comprehend, as we are working towards the text flow across docs pages to ensure that all related information stays in one place instead of multiple spots in the same page.

Long sections have been broken down to multiple extendable sections, which can be extended by just clicking on the arrow to get more information. Similarly, multiple release notes have been made easier to read by making use of clear dates and changelogs, colored with the following types of change:

• Green: This color indicates an addition of new features (for example, Added DotBlob screensaver)
• Yellow: This color indicates an improvement or a bug fix (for example, Fixed crashes on startup)
• Red: This color indicates a removal of features (for example, Removed native library dependency)

The changelogs will remain populated on GitHub as proper release markers for quick reference, in case documentation is not available.

Also, cards are used to group different features instead of individual page links to make the experience more welcoming, as well as links at the top of each card and the cover picture to give you a quick glimpse of a feature or an item.

This is a final reminder that the new documentation will get rolled out on February 12th!

Rollout schedule for the new Aptivi documentation look

As we have stated earlier, we have planned to give our documentation a new look to modernize it and to make it minimal from the start for easier navigation.

Here’s your sneak peek of the improved docs design!

As we’ve stated earlier in one of the last articles about the improved docs design plan, our plan was to make the documentation visually appealing to make the docs more gorgeous and more understandable to a wider audience.

Today, we have finally made the updated, improved documentation design available in the main Aptivi docs page! We have changed the design from simplistic to appealing design, and we’ve made the text less wordy to make the docs more understandable.

This is the current state now, versus the previous design:

We have used cards instead of bullet points with links to give you a comprehensive list of projects and other elements without introducing walls of text. Cover photos are also used to make those cards stand out, ensuring visual appearance. Links will also appear in the titles, if desired, along with a slightly bigger text due to space.

For step-by-step instructions and other listings, we have replaced the traditional bullet points and walls of text with elements like “steppers” and “expandables.” This is to ensure easier comprehension when following the steps while hiding secondary content under expandables. Restructuring the pages is also done to make sure that all key points are in one place instead of different points that point to the same section but scattered to multiple places.

The above image also shows a role of expandables when it comes to addressing different points when sections aren’t enough, such as code of conduct and contribution guidelines.

We are very excited to announce that we’ll start working on evaluating all documentations beginning today to redesign them according to the above principles!

However, all stable and rolling documentations that were branched before February 15th won’t be updated to preserve the history and to show users how we evolved from traditional but wordy docs to minimalistic and modern docs.

The rollout will start gradually on February 15th across projects, starting from the Nitrocid manual, until all documentation has been updated. This ensures that we maintain consistency while being able to update docs for new features and other changes at the same time.

Until then, check out our brand new main docs design!

You can now see how will our GitBook documentation look like!

Improvements planned for project and other docs

Documentation is always the most important part of any project and other technology-related topics. This tells users what the project is, how it functions, and how can users use it, and every good project includes documentation.

However, we think that there is room for improvements across the entire Aptivi project documentation workspace, such as Nitrocid, Terminaux, and so on, so we have decided to make a plan for refinements to happen in all project documentations.

Those improvements will make users and developers be able to more comprehensively understand what they’re reading, while providing improved design at the same time. We’ll use more items and elements that are related to layout to make the documentation look much more welcoming.

To save resources, those changes will only land to all rolling manuals. This means that there will be no design updates for both stable and deprecated project docs that were made before March 1st.

The incremental rollout of the new documentation design will start from February 15th. You’ll be able to have a sneak peek of the new design in the main Aptivi GitBook docs page starting February 1st.

Reviving old Nitrocid Documentation

While we are gathering information about how we plan to finalize the documentation for the upcoming Nitrocid release, we’ve discovered an interesting way to revive the old Nitrocid documentation. Before we get into details into how we did it, here’s some background information about the original Nitrocid documentation.

When version 0.0.6 was still in development, we did it as part of the executable using embedded resources. You can see the resultant “manual page” files here, before the migration to GitHub Wiki started at around 2019 before the release of 0.0.8. The documentation then stayed on GitHub Wiki until 2022, when we had planned to move the docs to DocFX during the development of 0.0.23.x.

However, during development of 0.0.24.x, we’ve discovered that the documentation needed a rework, and that libraries at the time had no documentation. The only documentation that was provided at the time was the API docs, and that, in our opinion, wasn’t enough, because the API docs don’t usually provide detailed information about the functionality of the library.

So, when 2023 started, we’ve begun a project that focuses on a complete rewrite of the Nitrocid documentation, which was part of our plan of the Nitrocid 0.1.0 release. During the beta release, we’ve brought the GitBook documentation online. That was after careful choosing of the documentation frameworks: whether to continue using DocFX or to switch to another doc framework (GitBook, Read The Docs, etc.) was our question.

Modernity of our docs and simplification of our workflow was our requirements, and GitBook has been carefully chosen after considering its capabilities. The current GitBook documentation can be found here. This migration has caused us to shut down the Wiki section in our GitHub as we were telling people that the migration was done.

Fast forward to today, as we no longer have backups of the old wiki for versions 0.0.23.x and older, we’ve decided to run a Git clone on the Wiki repository of Nitrocid to check to see if we can fetch them. Here’s the command:

 $ git clone https://github.com/Aptivi/Nitrocid.wiki.git 

Instead of getting an error or getting an empty repository, we got a full history of the wiki that was active from 2019 to 2022. This gave us a brand new project to do during the “Final Touches” stage of 0.2.0 as part of the documentation preservation project under the Archived Manuals GitHub organization, making February 12th the biggest milestone yet.

We will study the structure of the commits and release archived documentation under GitBook when each version is discovered. This release is going to be asynchronous to the 0.2.0 release plan.

We have learned that when you disable the Wiki on GitHub, the repository that contains the wiki itself won’t be deleted. For example, deactivating Nitrocid’s Wiki section on GitHub won’t remove the Nitrocid.wiki.git repository. Therefore, this is done on purpose to make restoration easier, in case you ever want to turn the Wiki section back on.

To clone the wiki repository when the Wiki section is disabled, just run this command:

 $ git clone https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.wiki.git 

You can interact with it just like any other Git repository.
