Hosting on Github Pages?

[NFlourish]

We are using Experience Builder Developer Edition. We want to publish our custom Experience. It requires no login or OAuth or anything. When I download the app Zip file and extracted it, I can put it into a folder on one of our development Windows Servers with IIS and I can open the app no problem.

I have tried to publish the exact same app to GitHub pages and I get a host of errors in the console. Here is the URL of the app at GH Pages so you can also look at the console.

I saw that @GavinRehkemper had done a CI workflow that published to GitHub pages, but the example appears to be dead. I tried switching the service worker cache, but that did not help. The error messages in the console now are the same as before I switch the service worker cache build number etc. 

I am curious if we know if there is a reason that an Developer Edition Experience cannot be hosted on GitHub Pages?

Thanks!

Experience Builder sites get pretty big. My guess is you are over the 1GB limit on GitHub Pages. https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/about-github-pages#usage-limits

I just checked the file size on one of my pretty simple single page Experiences and it's over a gig.

That's a very helpful bit of knowledge to keep in mind and I could see that biting us. However, my XB app folder is only 120 megabytes right now. So I do not think it is size related unless I'm missing something.
