Feature request: custom index file in static websites

Glitch Feature Ideas
1

by default it’s index.html, add option to change that

2

I don’t think this will happen because that they would need to serve every / request with /index.html which would kill the purpose of “static websites”.

that’s how static sites work now

feature I’m requesting is setting to use other file instead of index.html

You can always makes a redirect…

well it applies to the same.

6

how to redirect in static sites?

7

Make the actual file and then add a redirect (check https://stackoverflow.com/a/5411601/14264568

8

You can always hide the index.html later using .gitignore, but that’s actually not recommended

9

that is not a http redirect

would not work with non-web browsers like wget

10

That’s true, but it’s a (weak) solution…
