docs: organize features by runtime by lancesnider · Pull Request #537 · rive-app/rive-docs

lancesnider · 2026-03-11T19:00:45Z

This PR updates the structure of the runtime navigation. Instead of having runtimes/feature with all of the runtimes in tabs, we now have a separate page for each feature (runtimes/web/feature).

Live demo: https://rive-organize-by-runtime.mintlify.app/getting-started/introduction

Approvals

Navigation Changes

Main Tab Nav

Merged "Runtimes" and "Game runtimes" into "Implementing Rive". In an upcoming PR this will also include site builders and the Notion integration.
Moved "Feature Support" to "Implementing Rive/Runtime Fundamentals" since it's runtime specific.
Changed "Tutorials" to "Learn". This page is going to get a major revamp soooooon.

Sidebar Name Changes

Renamed all the "Legacy" groups to "Legacy Features" for more clarity.
Renamed "Format" to ".riv File Format" and took it out of "Advanced Features" since it was the only thing in there.

Landing Pages

The top-level fundamentals pages no longer appear in the navigation, but we're keeping them around as landing pages. They're still relevant for cases when we need to link to a runtime feature, but don't know what runtime the user wants to use. For example, when linking from the editor pages.

Here's what each one looks like (you'll need to run this branch locally):

With demos:

Without demos:

For deprecated features:

New Runtime Pages

The new runtime pages are a mix of snippets for shared content and runtime-specific examples.

If I made any content change, no matter how minor, I have included a before/after screenshot to make it easier to review. If a page doesn't include a comment, then the only change is that I got rid of the runtime tabs or the unrelated examples.

Runtime-specific Changes

Web

I removed the HTML from any example, keeping them purley JS:

Unreal & Defold

No changes, expect menu location.

Unity

Most of the Unity changes were taking sentences that say "for more info see xyz" and replacing them with content. Sorry Adam, this is gonna be a pain to review! 😂

Pull request overview

Reorganizes the runtime documentation IA so users navigate by runtime first, with shared content moved into snippets and runtime-specific pages created per feature.

Changes:

Replaces “feature pages with runtime tabs” with per-runtime feature pages (e.g. /runtimes/web/<feature>), driven by shared MDX snippets.
Adds/updates landing pages (e.g. /runtimes/playing-audio, /runtimes/logging) to route users to runtime-specific guides.
Updates many internal links, headings, and deprecation notices to match the new structure.

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 168 out of 170 changed files in this pull request and generated 16 comments.

@lancesnider I've opened a new pull request, #545, to work on those changes. Once the pull request is ready, I'll request review from you.

I'm going to relocate the links that are anchored to the top of the sidebar nav. Early Access was one of the only perks to upgrading, which I'm assuming is why it was featured so prominently. This PR adds a "Get Rive" page that includes links to downloads, the web editor, and EA. <img width="2330" height="1264" alt="CleanShot 2026-03-16 at 13 48 47@2x" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/582430dd-129b-4e70-98de-af76a864c4e1" />

Looks good! Here's what I gleaned from my pass:

Instead of Web -> Getting started -> Artboards -> landing page -> Artboards (web), maybe we can just go straight to Artboards (web)
For animation playback landing page, there are two deprecation notices, maybe we can remove the latter one
In Flutter's font page, there is a notice at the bottom about how fallback fonts are not supported on the WEB but I think that is meant to say flutter

I'm not sure how many of these are intended vs. unintended, though!

We should redirect the preloading-wasm on the React section to the web one:

Good call. Done. This fixes the same problem on the Flutter runtime page as well.
Updated.
This one was on purpose because you can compile flutter for the web.

Instead I split them out into their own pages. 8933479

Reorg looks good! There are a few things I might tweak but they don't have to be part of this PR, plus I already am going to have some merge conflicts with some of my recent work that will need to be merged in after.

Looks great, thanks, Lance!

The only thing to call out is this example section on the Unity Databinding page, which shows Android runtime examples. We can probably remove the section as a whole (until we have more examples) or link to the Unity Getting Started tutorial.
