metaobjects.dev

Open-source project site for the MetaObjects metadata standard. Deployed at https://metaobjects.dev/.

This repo is the static site only. The canonical source code, specification, and conformance fixtures live in metaobjectsdev/metaobjects.

Why this repo is small on purpose

In the AI-coding era, the role of a project documentation site has narrowed. Developers learn libraries through AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf) that load context from the actual source repository, the spec, and llms.txt. A 200-page SDK-style docs site is no longer the right artifact.

This site exists to do three things:

1. Be a credible front door for humans — a short landing that says what MetaObjects is, what status each implementation is in, and where to go for the spec.
2. Serve AI assistants well — ship a maintained llms.txt index and llms-full.txt corpus so coding agents have an authoritative, version-pinned context source.
3. Point at the real material — link directly into the metaobjects monorepo for spec, quickstarts, code, and conformance fixtures. The monorepo is the truth; this site is the signpost.

Deploy

GitHub Pages, custom domain metaobjects.dev (CNAME in www/CNAME). Workflow in .github/workflows/ builds on push to main and deploys the contents of www/.

Note on HTTPS: the GitHub Pages certificate for metaobjects.dev was in a bad_authz ACME state as of 2026-05-21. To re-trigger HTTPS provisioning, toggle the Enforce HTTPS checkbox in repo Settings → Pages off and on, or remove + re-add the custom domain.
