# GitHub Pages Deployment Fix

## Problem
The site was showing a white screen with console errors showing 404s for all JavaScript files in the `_app` directory:
```
Failed to load resource: https://abaj8494.github.io/math-map/_app/immutable/entry/app.*.js (404)
```

## Root Cause
**GitHub Pages uses Jekyll by default**, which **ignores all files and folders starting with underscores** (like `_app`). This caused all the SvelteKit JavaScript bundles to be excluded from the published site.

## Solution
Added a `.nojekyll` file to the `docs` folder. This tells GitHub Pages to:
1. **Skip Jekyll processing entirely**
2. **Serve all files as-is**, including those starting with underscores

## Changes Made

### 1. Fixed svelte.config.js
```javascript
const dev = process.argv.includes('dev');

const config = {
  kit: {
    adapter: adapter({
      pages: 'docs',
      assets: 'docs',
      fallback: undefined,
      precompress: false,
      strict: true
    }),
    paths: {
      base: dev ? '' : '/math-map'  // Applies /math-map base path for production
    }
  }
};
```

### 2. Added .nojekyll file
```bash
touch docs/.nojekyll
```

### 3. Rebuilt the site
```bash
npm run build
```

## Verification
After pushing these changes:
1. The `_app` directory should be accessible at `https://abaj8494.github.io/math-map/_app/`
2. All JavaScript files should load successfully
3. The 3D math visualization should render properly

## Key Takeaways
- **Always add `.nojekyll`** when deploying SvelteKit (or any modern framework) to GitHub Pages
- The `base` path configuration is essential for subdirectory deployments
- GitHub Pages is perfectly fine for static sites - this was just a configuration issue!
