What

pixelcat-jet.vercel.app was returning 404: NOT_FOUND because the repo is an Electron desktop app — there was no webpage for Vercel to serve.

This adds a small static landing page so the URL shows the cat instead of a 404.

Changes

  • index.html — dark landing page: logo, autoplaying demo clip (pixelcat-demo.mp4) with the GIF as a fallback for browsers that block autoplay, a poster image, feature highlights, run-it-yourself instructions, and the showcase image. Links to the GitHub repo.
  • vercel.json — skips install/build and serves the repo root statically. Needed because the project's native Electron deps (uiohook-napi) would otherwise fail Vercel's default npm install and break the deploy.

Notes

  • This is a static showcase page (plays the demo + links/instructions), not the fully interactive in-browser pet the README hypes. Getting the URL to stop 404ing is the goal here; an interactive canvas build can be a follow-up if wanted.
  • All referenced assets (icon-512.png, pixelcat-demo.mp4/.gif, showcase.png) are already tracked on main.

How to verify

Once Vercel builds this branch's preview (or after merge for the production URL), open the deployment — the page should load with the demo playing.

Generated by Claude Code

Adds index.html (logo, autoplaying demo clip with GIF fallback, features,
run instructions, showcase) and a vercel.json that skips install/build and
serves the repo root statically — the native Electron deps would otherwise
fail Vercel's npm install. Fixes the 404 at pixelcat-jet.vercel.app.
