     1  After being "in construction" for ages, the Elvish website is now officially
     2  live. It is (still) not complete yet, but in the spirit of "release early",
     3  here it is :)
     4  
     5  This website will be the entry point of all Elvish information. It will host
     6  documents (including both [learning materials](/learn) and
     7  [references](/ref)), as well as release notes or other announcements.  The
     8  [GitHub repository](https://github.com/elves/elvish) continues to host code
     9  and issues, of course.
    10  
    11  The website has no comment facilities: commenting is outsourced to [Hacker
    12  News](https://news.ycombinator.com) and [r/elv](https://www.reddit.com/r/elv/).
    13  
    14  The [homepage](/) introduces each section, and highlights some key features of
    15  Elvish with "ttyshots". Please start there to explore this website!

    20  The website is built with a [static website
    21  generator](https://github.com/xiaq/genblog) from a bunch of [MarkDown,
    22  configuration files and messy scripts](https://github.com/elves/elvish.io),
    23  and hosted on a [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com) server with
    24  [nginx](http://nginx.org).
    25  
    26  Thanks to [Cloudflare](https://www.cloudflare.com), this website has a good
    27  chance of withstanding kisses of death from Hacker News, should there be any.
    28  It uses Cloudflare's "strict" SSL configuration, meaning that both traffic from
    29  you to Cloudflare and Cloudflare to the origin server are fully encrypted with
    30  verified certificates. The origin server obtains and renews its certificate
    31  from the wonderful [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) service.
