Enable HTTPS on GitHub Pages

[TimothyGu]

Hi, could you please enable HTTPS support for this GitHub Pages site? Should be as easy as flipping a switch in repo settings: https://help.github.com/en/articles/securing-your-github-pages-site-with-https

Github doesn't let me because "Unavailable for your site because your domain is not properly configured to support HTTPS". But it's a single file static site so I'm not sure what there is to encrypt (since the host is public is HTTPS)

Hmm. Could you tweak the DNS settings according to the latest instructions for Apex domains? https://help.github.com/en/articles/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site#configuring-an-apex-domain

I don't want to rehash the argument of why HTTPS for static sites is good, etc., but it affects Google SEO these days, and callbackhell.com remains a favorite of mine to link to folks learning JavaScript :)

@maxogden you could always upload this HTML page to Firebase Hosting. Your website will automatically get a free SSL cert and you can use a custom domain name. If you need help setting that up let me know I would be happy to help!
