the site content is a unofficial mirror of Deno documentation https://docs.deno.com, created to provide access to Deno documentation in regions where websites hosted on Deno Deploy (e.g. docs.deno.com, fresh.deno.dev) are blocked. (See ping.pe)
The workflow, which will automatically build from https://github.com/denoland/docs and deploy on Github Page, can be avaliable at https://github.com/FBIKdot/deno-docs/blob/main/.github/workflows/deploy.yml

@indus looking to you for an opinion here, an unofficial mirror of existing docs to bypass the Great China Firewall seems like a rather odd request, and my gut says this puts us in a risky position?

In my view, this restriction targets Deno Deploy rather than Deno itself, as deno.com remains accessible (ping.pe) and there is an accessible mirror repository of denoland/docs at https://gitee.com/Vstephen/docs (Gitee is located in China). However, the Deno team prefers to host their site on Deno Deploy, which has led to the legitimate documentation being blocked. (docs.deno.com, deno.land, fresh.deno.dev, javascript.tm)

@FBIKdot Have you talked to the Deno team about their hosting choice, or is that just your interpretation of the current state?

While we appreciate the intent of making Deno documentation more accessible, JS.ORG does not provide subdomains for unofficial mirrors of existing websites, especially when their primary purpose is to circumvent regional restrictions. This is outside the scope of JS.ORG’s service and could put the project in a position we prefer to avoid. We recommend continuing to use existing mirrors or working with the Deno team to establish an official alternative.

No, this is based on public documentation and my testing via Wappalyzer.

Thanks for your explanation and recommendation. I'll try to ask for an official solution.
