Ok, the new website is 99.9% done now (see preview at https://prometheus-next.netlify.app/), so if people are fine with it, I would actually want to launch it sometime in the next few days.
Currently I have the code in https://github.com/juliusv/prometheus-next-website. The plan seems to be to reuse the existing old docs repo (https://github.com/prometheus/docs), but it would still be nice to preserve the commits I currently have in my separate repo, so my plan for grafting the two repo histories together is: * Create a commit in the old docs repo with all old files deleted. * Add a git remote for my new site's repo, fetch the history from that, and merge it (I tried rebasing it ontop of the deletion commit as well, but ran into trouble) That would then look something like this as a huge PR: https://github.com/prometheus/docs/compare/docs-next Will do that soon unless someone objects :) Cheers, Julius On Sun, May 18, 2025 at 10:35 PM Julius Volz <julius.v...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > The last few weeks I've been working a lot on the prometheus.io website > rewrite using Next.js and a (hopefully) more modern and more responsive > design.
