This naming choice showcases the essence of the project— it's dedication to providing users with a straightforward and modern web experience. Aplós is centered around the philosophy of simplicity, aiming to deliver an uncomplicated and contemporary solution for website creation.

Now that Aplós is an NPM Package, a release cycle is required. There is a new version every Saturday at 16:00 GMT for regular small updates (if there are changes), and for more critical updates every time there is a need.
Sometimes this schedule isn't followed, but it is the general rule.
Aplós uses Semantic Versioning, so you can understand the changes by looking at the version number (using the major.minor.patch format).
It might be possible that the pre-release versions start as a patch version and end up becoming a minor/major version (e.g: 2.1.3-1 -> 2.2.0-0) if there are significant changes or breaking changes.
The 'next' tag is version of Aplós, used to test the next version before it is released. Use the 'next' tag if you want to test the next version of Aplós.
You can install the 'next' tag with the following command:
npm i aplos@nextIf you want to contribute to Aplós, make sure to fork the repository and cloned it with git clone or gh repo clone.
After cloning the repository, you can install the dependencies with the following command:
pnpm installIf you want a development server, you can directly run the Docs for development using the following command:
pnpm docs:devYou can edit the project and see your changes live.
All other standard VitePress commands are available, like pnpm demo:build and pnpm demo:preview.
Note
Only the build and preview commands require the demo prefix.
