Users

Application developers building browser or Node.js integrations, protocol implementers checking capability and delegation behavior, and operators deploying TinyCloud nodes or using the CLI. They arrive with a concrete job and need the shortest trustworthy route to a working result.

Product Purpose

TinyCloud documentation teaches developers and operators how to build with, understand, and run a user-owned personal data cloud. Success means readers can select the right journey immediately, complete a verified first task, and find exact source-backed behavior without confusing tutorials, concepts, and reference material.

Brand Personality

Sovereign, technical, and direct. The experience should create confidence through precise language, visible trust boundaries, and practical paths rather than hype.

Anti-references

Do not resemble an uncustomized Mintlify starter kit, a generic SaaS documentation template, or a marketing page that hides operational constraints behind abstract claims. Avoid decorative complexity that competes with navigation and code.

Design Principles

  • Lead with reader intent: Build, Understand, and Operate should always be obvious entry points.
  • Earn trust with exactness: distinguish verified behavior, boundaries, beta versions, and known limitations.
  • Make progress visible: every tutorial should state prerequisites, actions, and a recognizable success result.
  • Keep theory and action connected: concepts should clarify implementation decisions, not become detours.
  • Make TinyCloud unmistakable: use TinyCloud identity and language instead of framework defaults.

Accessibility & Inclusion

Meet WCAG 2.1 AA for text, controls, focus, and color contrast in light and dark modes. Preserve keyboard navigation, descriptive labels, reduced-motion preferences, and readable line lengths. Do not rely on color alone to communicate navigation state or meaning.
