Where to Find xplr Documentation and Community Resources

Updated

xplr's official site, xplr.dev, links directly to three resources for learning and customizing the tool: Documentation, a Blog, and the GitHub repository. The site describes xplr as "a hackable, minimal, fast TUI file explorer" and offers a "Try or Install" entry point, so the site itself acts as the starting hub before you move into docs, release notes, or source code.

The three official entry points

Resource What it's for When to use it
Documentation Learning usage and configuration First stop after installing; look here for how features and customization work
Blog Updates and articles Checking for news, walkthroughs, or changes over time
GitHub Source code and issue tracking Reading the implementation, reporting bugs, or following development

The site's top navigation lists these as "Features Documentation Blog GitHub," so all three are reachable from the homepage without searching elsewhere.

Documentation

Use the Documentation link when you need to understand how xplr behaves or how to configure it. Because the tool is presented as "hackable," expect the docs to be where customization is explained rather than on the landing page. Start here before changing configuration so you know which behaviors are intended.

Blog

The Blog is the place for updates and articles. Check it when you want context on new releases or longer-form explanations that don't fit in reference docs. It complements the documentation rather than replacing it.

GitHub

GitHub serves two purposes: the source code itself and issue tracking. Go there if you want to inspect how something works, report a problem, or see whether others have hit the same issue. For a hackable tool, the repository is often the most authoritative answer when docs are thin.

A practical path from first visit to productive use

  1. Open xplr.dev and use Try or Install to get the tool running.
  2. Read the Documentation to learn the interface and configuration options.
  3. Skim the Blog for recent changes that may postdate the docs.
  4. Use GitHub for source-level questions and to file issues.

Common sticking points

  • Docs vs. blog drift: if a documented option doesn't behave as described, check the blog and GitHub for newer changes before assuming a mistake.
  • Hackability means configuration matters: don't judge the tool from defaults alone; the documentation is where the intended customization surface is described.
  • Issues before workarounds: for unexpected behavior, search GitHub issues first — someone may have already documented the cause.

The site does not publish pricing or login details on the page, so treat access to these resources as part of the project's public presence rather than assuming any account requirement.
