Every console, one searchable mirror

grandMA3

The current MA generation — user manual, quick start, and per-device quick manuals. Live for v2.4 and v2.3, with a Stripe-style version switcher.

grandMA2

The workhorse. Full manual mirror — including content the official legacy help site no longer serves.

dot2

Compact console docs, preserved — keywords, views, and guided tours.

Utilities & network

MA fixture builder, plugins, and network-switch docs — the rest of the ecosystem, in the same clean markdown.

Built for humans

Real full-text search

Pagefind-powered search and a Cmd+K modal across the current docs — something the official site never had.

Versioned, the Stripe way

grandMA3 versions are path segments with an in-page switcher and an “older version” banner, so you never read the wrong manual by accident.

Faithful to the console

Tables and MA command-syntax notation preserved, 4,900+ diagrams and screenshots self-hosted and optimized — not hot-linked.

Theme-matched

Colors and typeface mirror grandMA3’s own default and defaultDAYLIGHT schemes — gold selection, teal accent, DejaVu Sans.

Built for AI agents

Markdown twin per page

Append .md to any URL for raw markdown (Stripe parity), plus an llms.txt / llms-full.txt index and in-page rel="alternate" discovery.

Remote MCP server

A live Model Context Protocol server with search_docs, get_page, command_lookup, and list_products_versions.

Installable skills

6 grandMA skills — command syntax, macro writing, troubleshooting, Lua API and more — the first grandMA skill set published anywhere.

Static output, optimized images and fonts, valid robots.txt and sitemap, canonical links and redirects from the old URL scheme — Lighthouse ~100.
