Requires installing Node.js and project dependencies, then running a local build step to preview the site.
This repository contains the source code for nodejs.org, the official website for the Node.js programming platform. It's the public-facing site that developers visit to download Node.js, read documentation, and learn about upcoming events. The project is managed by the Node.js community rather than a single company. The site is built as a collection of page templates, styling files, and content written in Markdown. One of its key features is internationalization, the ability to display content in multiple languages. Content lives in locale-specific folders, with English as the default that other translations build from. If a translated page doesn't exist for a particular language, the site can fall back to the English version automatically. This setup empowers volunteer translation communities to contribute content in their native languages. Contributors include both developers and non-developers. Developers work on the code, templates, and site structure, while content comes from various Node.js working groups focused on evangelism, core documentation, and internationalization. This means a translator adding Japanese content or a developer fixing a layout bug can both contribute through the same repository. The project labels beginner-friendly issues to help newcomers get started. The codebase is designed to keep content and code separate. The Website Working Group maintains the structure and technical side, but defers to other working groups on editorial decisions. This separation lets subject-matter experts own their content areas without needing to understand the full technical stack behind the site.
