Potluck Docs

What you get

A Starlight docs site

Astro + Starlight, Markdown/MDX content, full-text search, dark and light mode — Tailwind v4 theming in one file.

Interactive API references

Three example OpenAPI references, rendered by Scalar with a built-in client for sending real requests. Optional — delete what you don’t need.

An optional logged-in tier

Private docs for any signed-in reader, and org-scoped docs visible only to that org’s members — enforced server-side, never shipped in the static build. Optional too.

Ready for search engines and AI agents

Sitemap and llms.txt generated on every build, plus a “copy / open in Claude or ChatGPT” menu on every page.

What you don’t get

It’s a template, not a hosted product. Some things follow from that:

• No content. The pages you’ll see after creating a site are placeholders that explain the template to you. Replace them with your own.
• No CMS. Pages are Markdown/MDX files in your git repository, edited in a code editor — not a web UI a non-technical writer can log into.
• No user database. The logged-in tier checks a token signed by your product, not a login system of its own. If you want private docs, you’re bringing your own sign-in.
• No fully static hosting if you keep the logged-in tier. It needs a server to check that token on every request, so pure static hosts like GitHub Pages are off the table unless you remove the feature. Vercel and any Node host work fine — see Deploy.

Teams comfortable with Markdown and git, who want a docs site running in minutes rather than days, and either don’t need a logged-in tier or are happy to wire it to their own product’s sign-in — try the quickstart.
