2026-07-26v0.39.2— Own Domain
Changed
- Kandown now lives at its own domain, kandown.dev. The website has moved off the temporary
kandown.vercel.appdeployment URL onto a permanent domain that the project owns. Nothing about the hosting changed — the site is the same static build on the same infrastructure — but the address is now independent of the host, so future links never break if the deployment moves. www.kandown.devand the oldkandown.vercel.appaddress permanently redirect to the canonical domain. Every historical link — in old release notes, npm listings, forum posts, or anyone's bookmarks — keeps working and lands on the same page it always did. The redirects are declared inwebsite/vercel.json, so they are versioned with the site rather than configured invisibly in a dashboard. Consolidating on a single hostname also stops search engines from indexing the site twice under two names.- The npm package now points at the website instead of the GitHub README. The
homepagefield inpackage.jsonreadshttps://kandown.dev, so the "homepage" link on the npm listing takes visitors to the documentation site rather than a raw Markdown file. - The README links to the website, the documentation and the changelog. The project README previously had no path to the site at all — a visitor arriving from GitHub had no way to discover the docs. A short link row now sits under the badges.
Added
- The website README documents the domain setup. A new Deployment → Domain section records where the domain is registered, the exact DNS records that point it at Vercel, and the reason both records must stay unproxied at Cloudflare — the orange-cloud proxy terminates TLS itself and blocks certificate issuance and renewal. It also notes that
site.urlinwebsite/src/lib/site.tsis the single constant every canonical tag, OG URL andllms.txtlink derives from, so a future domain change is a one-line edit.
