If I'm correct (Which I am infact never am), Github can host the website if it does go there. As long as the code remains, it can be visited. That's all hosting a website really needs to be. A connection to a computer / server to get the code for the website. Things like scratch are more complicated, but at its core, it's that simple .

which means there is none of your code running on the server

Thank you Wayback Machine!

Edit: Editor wasn't archived (sad)
Well you see, While I was archiving all obscure pages in Sep 2024 archiving the editor, I accidentally refreshed, so when you load the archive, it just refreshes forever and the archive eventually got deleted, but because there is no other archives, you can't access it.

GitHub only hosts static pages, this uses a server if I'm correct

From what I recall, it's technically possible to make Obscure run on a static host- aside from saving projects across devices (which would also require an account system, and as I recall Obscure's website didn't have one of those), everything could be implemented in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Furthermore, the interpreter was written in JS already.

The last archive on archive.org (that isn't an error page) is https://web.archive.org/web/20250630093259/https://obscure.glitch.me/

The interpreter was also archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20240925182747/https://obscure.glitch.me/interpreter.js

One snapshot of the editor exists, at https://web.archive.org/web/20240925182747/https://obscure.glitch.me/editor?v=Project%2025%2F9%2F2024 (although be warned: it does seem a bit glitchy, at least on my iPad. My browser / operating system: IPad iOS 18.6.2, Safari 18.6, No Flash version detected)

What if we rewrite the interpreter in scratch?
Just some thought that came into my head.

Ah! I archived this page, but while the archiving the editor, I accidentally refreshed the page. So it is why it keeps refreshing, just my own silly mistake.
