April 2026: Delivered a comprehensive overhaul of Portable Text Editor documentation in portabletext/editor, focusing on information architecture, a new Markdown conversion guide, and clarified rendering and conversion topics. Implemented a targeted docs reorganization with a dedicated split between rendering and conversion guides to improve findability and onboarding. Upgraded the docs build stack to Astro 6 and Starlight 0.38 to boost performance and reliability, and corrected external links (em dash domain) to ensure accuracy. The work included four commits across authors (eebdf6421ae3227351157491c2f7f54d4a528cb8; 4657754bb3c06fe6299cf0fa3048714837363902; 80590ce9dbb1fd2e4c833f28870fbf6f91a916fa; 6c5ea9fb2ecd70609dcd6d9f7064834398708b1f), co-authored by Miriad and developer. This effort reduces onboarding time, lowers support overhead, and accelerates contributor velocity, delivering clearer guidance for users and faster time-to-value for Portable Text Editor implementations.
