New Documentation and Blog
evcc now has documentation and this blog, and today we’d like to introduce both of them in a bit more detail.
A Few Numbers
Section titled “A Few Numbers”On 6 March 2020 andig brought evcc to life with the first commit. He could never have dreamed of the path this project has taken since then. More than 1,300 commits later, with 369 stars, 90 forks, 34 contributors and more than 70 releases, evcc keeps on growing.
The number of users is growing too, even though we don’t have exact figures (and we don’t need them). The forum already counts almost 450 discussions with many participants. Lots of interested people also hang out in our developer Slack channel.
New Documentation
Section titled “New Documentation”To give this broad range of people, especially with their different technical backgrounds, better access to evcc, we have started building new documentation at docs.evcc.io based on the open source project Docusaurus.
We have set up the following sections:
- Getting Started: installation and configuration of evcc.
- Guides: various topics and frequently asked questions.
- Devices: a list of known, supported devices and their configuration.
- Reference: all the (including technical) details and configuration options for those who want to dig a little deeper.
We’d be happy if you supported us with this. Whether it’s fixing typos or adding new and better content, the documentation is also on GitHub at github.com/evcc-io/docs and we look forward to your contributions!
We’re also launching this blog today. Every now and then you’ll find various content about evcc and topics around charging at home here. We have a few ideas, so stay tuned. Our main focus remains on developing evcc itself, though. But a look behind the scenes is surely interesting for some of you every now and then :)
