vitepress is a good choice, as it can

1. save most of the design and styles
2. suitable for writing help documents.
3. deploy to netlify, without need a server & domain. And acceptable speed in Mainland.
4. easy for Internationalization

I created one: https://easydict.netlify.app/

Update:

All the document can be written in markdown format. like you write the readme.md If you think it's ok, I will fill in some existing documents in the next few days, set up the basic structure, and then others can directly edit the markup

I've added

• [x] Internationalization folder structure
• [x] Installation doc

Looks great, but I'm not familiar web, can anyone follow up?

vitepress is a good choice to write documentation websites.

Could you refer to here and open a PR to upload the relevant files in our project directory? This makes it easier for us to manage and improve the documentation together.

I don't like this third party service that has a lot of weird account censorship, or bugs, maybe later we can try to deploy to Vercel, or our own servers.

@tisfeng If using Vercel, you also need to customize the domain name. Is there a domain name available for this project now? Netlify is the fastest of these services in China, and the official Vue website uses them. Deno.dev is also an option, and it's faster than Vercel.

I think we should buy one. Do we have fund for this?

[tisfeng]

I have a personal domain izual.me and I can add a subdomain if needed.

The domain name part is not very urgent, we can build the website first and improve the documentation to make sure it is accessible both in China and abroad.

I've only used Vercel and I'm not sure what the specific differences are between these hosting services, if Netlify is the best, it's ok for us to use it.
