Devlog #3

Time logged: 26 minutes
Main enemy: 404 Not Found

The Great Demo Page Construction

Today’s coding session wasn’t about React, Express, or SQLite.
It was about something far more heroic:

Making a demo page so my project stops returning a 404.

I created a docs/ folder, dropped an index.html inside, and suddenly felt like a front-end engineer from 2012.
Pure HTML.
No frameworks.
Just vibes.

The “Why Does Ship Hate My Demo Link?” Arc

The moment I realized Ship requires a public demo link, not a Codespaces URL that only works when I’m awake and the stars align, I knew what had to be done.

So I built a whole mini-website:

Title
Description
Features
Screenshot placeholder
Buttons
Instructions

The HTML Shenanigans

I wrote CSS like a person who has seen too much:

centered text
rounded screenshots
blue buttons
margins that actually look normal

It’s not fancy, but it works.
And most importantly:

It does not 404.

Final Thoughts

In just 26 minutes:

I defeated the 404 monster
I created a demo page that actually loads
I made GitHub Pages happy
And now Ship will (maybe?) accept my project

Honestly?
A surprisingly productive micro-session.
