# Platform Overview

The Doccupine platform gives you everything you need to create, customize, and host beautiful documentation websites - all from your browser. No local setup, no CI pipelines, no infrastructure to manage.

## What you get

- **Browser-based editor** for writing and managing your documentation files
- **One-click publishing** that commits to GitHub and deploys automatically
- **Agent Sync** to link pages to the code they document and rewrite them when it changes
- **Visual configuration** for themes, navigation, fonts, links, and more
- **Custom domains** with automatic HTTPS
- **AI assistant** built into every deployed site
- **Team collaboration** with role-based access control

## How it works

Doccupine connects two core pieces behind the scenes:

1. **GitHub** stores your documentation source files in a Git repository
2. **Doccupine** builds, hosts, and serves your site globally - plus provides a dashboard for editing, configuring, and managing your project

You write MDX files, configure your site through visual settings pages, and hit Publish. Doccupine handles the rest.

## Getting started

1. **Sign up** at Doccupine and start your free 30-day trial - no credit card required.
2. **Create a project** from the dashboard. Choose between a managed repository or connecting your own GitHub account.
3. **Edit your docs** using the built-in file explorer and editor.
4. **Configure your site** through the settings pages - theme, navigation, fonts, and more.
5. **Publish** your changes with a single click.

  Your documentation site is live the moment you create a project. Doccupine deploys a starter site automatically so you can see results immediately.

## Dashboard

After signing in, the dashboard shows all your projects. You'll see two sections:

- **Your Projects** - documentation sites you own, plus a button to create new ones
- **Shared Projects** - sites that other users have invited you to collaborate on

Click any project card to open it and start working.
