Long-form playbook

Estimated reading time: less than 1 minute

This page is intentionally long and combines Rspress built-ins, Tailwind patterns, and shadcn-style components.

1) Foundation and setup

starter long-read
npm
yarn
pnpm
bun
deno
npm install -D @rspress/core tailwindcss @tailwindcss/postcss

Step 1: Scaffold structure

Create one package for the website and keep reusable code in src/components/ui.

Step 2: Configure docs navigation

Use _nav.json at docs root and _meta.json inside each product directory.

Step 3: Author pages

Write short pages for focused examples and one long page for operational guidance.

2) UI architecture patterns

Release strategy

Content strategy

  • Use one page per concept.
  • Add runnable snippets where helpful.
  • Keep examples realistic and constrained.

3) Tailwind layout examples

Pattern A

Feature summary card

Use for product highlights on landing and section hubs.

Pattern B

Checklist card

  • Clear goal statement
  • Verification command
  • Rollback notes
Pattern C

Status timeline

Use stacked sections with clear timestamps and ownership.

4) shadcn-style form and cards

Subscribe to product updates

Example using Input + Button components.

Release checklist

Minimal structured card content.

  1. Run build and preview
  2. Validate sidebar ordering
  3. Verify internal links
  4. Capture screenshots for release notes

5) Operational notes

Editorial guideline

Keep headings action-oriented and include at least one concrete example under each section.

Maintenance warning

Long pages can drift over time. Add ownership and a quarterly review cadence.

6) Example rollout plan

Phase 1: Baseline

Define product nav, landing links, and first-run setup docs.

Phase 2: Expand

Add component galleries, integration tutorials, and troubleshooting.

Phase 3: Stabilize

Add quality gates: build checks, link checks, and content review cadence.

Phase 4: Optimize

Measure search quality, update discoverability labels, and refine IA.
