Milestone 3: Document Publishing

Timeline: Jan 5-8, 2026 | Status: done

Goal

Two separate deployments from the same repo:

1. docs.designintuition.app → VitePress documentation
2. designintuition.app → Main SvelteKit app (future)

What Emerged

Dual deployment from a single monorepo: VitePress docs at docs.designintuition.app, Svelte app at designintuition.app. DNS via Dynadot, hosting via Netlify with automatic SSL. The pattern is reusable for other projects.

Our Work

DNS Setup

• Browse to Dynadot
• Purchase designintuition.app
• Configure DNS records:
  • A record: @ → 75.2.60.5 (Netlify load balancer)
  • CNAME: www → designintuition.netlify.app (main app, future)
  • CNAME: docs → docs-designintuition.netlify.app
  • TXT: subdomain-owner-verification → 660430d82e3f9631310ddfef50a2e859 (Netlify ownership proof)
• Verify propagation: dig designintuition.app and dig docs.designintuition.app

Netlify Project 1: Docs

• Create new Netlify site from di repo
• Build command: yarn docs:build
• Publish directory: notes/.vitepress/dist
• Site name: docs-designintuition
• Add custom domain: docs.designintuition.app
• Add TXT record in Dynadot for ownership verification
• Wait for SSL provisioning

Netlify Project 2: Main App

• Create new Netlify site from di repo
• Build command: yarn build
• Publish directory: dist
• Site name: designintuition
• Add custom domain: designintuition.app
• Add alias: www.designintuition.app
• Wait for SSL provisioning
