Introducing: Dirby
This article has been published a while ago.
If this is a technical article some information might be out of date. If something is terribly broken, let me know and I will update the article accordingly.
Some weeks ago I silently open sourced Dirby. An opinionated Kirby theme.
My team and I were searching for an easy to use CMS to create a web documentation for our projects. We used Kirby in previous projects and were amazed by how easy you can customize and extend it. We quickly patched a working prototype together, but it never looked good. It never took off and nobody wanted to make it better. I took the opportunity, built Dirby and open sourced it.
Under the hood #
In its core, it's just Bootstrap, Hightlight.js (for code snippets), Clipboard.js (to share URLs) and some basic pages (Search, Sitemap and Login).
Use it! #
The installation is quite easy. Just copy site/*, content/* and assets/* into your Kirby installation. The default template (site/templates/default.php) loads the necessary files and you're ready to go.
You find more information in the README file.
