Links to demos no longer work

[ryanshripat]

Links such as https://thomasjbradley.github.io/signature-pad/examples/accept-signature.html (linked from readme) return a 404 ("There isn't a GitHub Pages site here."). If you tell me where I can link to instead, I can update the documentation. Otherwise, I can attempt to provide a different URL by hosting the demos elsewhere (perhaps on github.io).

Hey @ryanshripat I could be wrong, but it looks like things should probably work if we change the urls to map to https://thread-pond.github.io/signature-pad/ instead. If you want to PR it, I'd be happy to merge it!

I'd love to submit a PR, @mockdeep but both that link and https://thread-pond.github.io/ give the "There isn't a GitHub Pages site here" error. I suspect that the repo owner will be able to actually create a Pages site at that URL. In the meantime I can read up on the following: https://help.github.com/articles/user-organization-and-project-pages/

@ryanshripat Oh, interesting. So it looks like the nested urls are available on the local GH pages, but for some reason the root url is not. This link works for me:

https://thread-pond.github.io/signature-pad/examples/accept-signature.html

It looks like the project pages will be available locally based on the repo, which the docs you share confirm in the Project Pages section, but it doesn't tell us how to get the root working. Just looking at a random other project, it looks like react-native has an index.html in the root of the project:
