Features

Why DevLab is different

DevLab keeps the theme small and Zola-native while giving documentation sites the navigation patterns readers expect.

Navigation

One docs structure

Sidebar, mobile menu, overview, breadcrumbs and prev/next links follow the same grouped navigation.

Mobile

Single site menu

One mobile drawer handles global navigation and documentation links without adding a second burger menu.

Content

Readable components

Callouts, cards, code styling and copy buttons support technical writing without a frontend framework.

Runtime

Minimal JavaScript

The theme uses small vanilla scripts only where interaction needs them: search, theme mode and menus.

Workflow

Built for maintainable documentation

DevLab favors reusable partials, grouped docs metadata and plain Markdown examples, so each feature stays easy to inspect and extend.

Shared partials

Docs navigation is rendered once and reused across desktop and mobile.

Live examples

Feature docs show rendered output and the Markdown syntax behind it.

Short iterations

Each workflow can evolve without a large template rewrite.
