GitHub Pages deployment question about whitespider

[ruochenjia]

Firstly it doesn't have to be deployed in a root subdomain, it can be deployed to any domains like example.com, subdomain.example.com, abc.xyz.example.com etc. You can set the deploy to a custom domain rather than a user.github.io domain if you have one.

However hosting it in a sub-path like domain.com/path/ or user.github.io/project/ could prevent some image, CSS, or JS files from being loaded, as all files in this project are linked with absolute path. For example, a resource like main.js would be linked as /main.js, which would trigger your browser loading a resource at https://domain.com/main.js, which would not exist if the project's root directory is domain.com/path/. Furthermore hosting in a non-root location could also prevent the service worker from being installed and working properly, which is required for webapp installation.

Resources are linked in this way because this project is initially designed only for hosting at whitespider.dev, which would satisfy all the requirements above. This also separates all local storage and cookies as pages are in separated origins, which prevents storage conflicts with other projects.
