Pitch

Have a version of docusaurus-init that does not include any logos, images, etc. Just vanilla.

Could be run like docusaurus-init --no-brand or something.

I just ran into this too, was hard to make sure I found and removed all the branding. I think I still use a css class prefixed with fb in the footer I couldn't find to rename.

Can someone clarify what's the hackathon tag? should contributors avoid doing efforts on it?

[JoelMarcey]

@ahmadalfy Hi - please feel free to do work on those with the hackathon tag. Actually, let me remove it now. It was for a quick hackathon last week.

[ahtee]

@kyldvs mentioned that it took a while to remove all branding, and this is a no-branding discussion, but what if there was a central place where you could change the branding everwhere if you did have a brand? and if that field is empty or null then it removes all branding from the template..?

@yangshun I think that would be a good way to explore more the plugins config. What do you think?

[leeyspaul]

Reviving an old thread. What constitutes vanilla? I was browsing around and starting with init gave me a few reference to docusarus but not a lot. Thank you for the context in advance. :]

Not sure exactly either what should be done, but it looks related to #3489

[leeyspaul]

Yeah, it seems like #3489 is about splitting up the base template into a series of templates for different use cases. So this vanilla template would be the base perhaps.

I think the maintenance factor is a valid concern too. Definitely still seems like an open and ongoing discussion. @fanny might have some creative ideas!

[slorber]

I'm considering that this issue is v1

v2 now has a classic template with no Facebook branding, and has a separate template for Facebook projects.

Considering the classic template as the "vanilla" template, but I'm not 100% sure to understand what vanilla means exactly here. v2 users don't complain much about having to remote existing branding.

The Docusaurus team is actively working on Docusaurus v2.

After a very long alpha, Docusaurus v2 is now in beta.
We believe that the v2 beta is already better than v1, and v2 is ready for maintstream adoption.

Apart from critical issues and security fixes, we don't plan to invest much time on Docusaurus v1 anymore.

We are all closing v1 issues.
Maybe the current issue is already fixed in Docusaurus v2.
Please try to upgrade, and if the issue is still there on Docusaurus v2, open a new issue.
