TAFCast — landing page

Static marketing/landing page for the TAFCast Android app, hosted on GitHub Pages.

Live: https://tafcast.github.io/

What's here

  • index.html — the entire site: a single, self-contained page (all CSS and JS inline, no build step, no external dependencies).
  • .nojekyll — tells GitHub Pages to serve files as-is (skip Jekyll processing).

Editing

Open index.html and edit directly. To preview locally:

python3 -m http.server 8123 --directory .
# then open http://localhost:8123/

Adding the APK download

The Download APK and Get the app buttons already point to tafcast.apk (with a download attribute). To make the download live:

  1. Copy the built APK into this folder, named exactly tafcast.apk.
  2. Commit and push:
    git add tafcast.apk && git commit -m "Add APK" && git push
  3. It will be downloadable at https://tafcast.github.io/tafcast.apk.

Keep the file under 100 MB (GitHub's per-file limit). To ship a new version, overwrite tafcast.apk and push again.

SEO

index.html includes canonical URL, robots, keywords, Open Graph + Twitter cards (og.png is the 1200×630 share image), and JSON-LD structured data (WebSite + Organization + MobileApplication). robots.txt and sitemap.xml are served at the site root, plus a site.webmanifest and icon.png.

To actually appear in Google search, you must tell Google the site exists:

  1. Open Google Search Console and add a property for https://tafcast.github.io/ (URL-prefix).
  2. Verify ownership — easiest is the HTML tag method: it gives a <meta name="google-site-verification" content="…"> tag; send it to me (or paste it into <head>), commit, push.
  3. In Search Console: Sitemaps → submit sitemap.xml; then URL Inspection → enter the URL → Request indexing.

Indexing can take a few hours to a few days. "tafcast" is a low-competition brand term, so once indexed the site should rank at/near the top for it.

To do

  • Add the real Google Play URL (the button at href="#" in the hero is still a placeholder).
  • Submit the site to Google Search Console (see SEO section) — needs your Google account.
