v0.39.2Own Domain

Changed

  • Kandown now lives at its own domain, kandown.dev. The website has moved off the temporary kandown.vercel.app deployment 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.dev and the old kandown.vercel.app address 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 in website/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 homepage field in package.json reads https://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.url in website/src/lib/site.ts is the single constant every canonical tag, OG URL and llms.txt link derives from, so a future domain change is a one-line edit.
