Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I think Postwoman lacks SEO. Can somebody look Into it?
Describe the solution you'd like
Let the world know there exists Postwoman - an online open sourced API request builder.

Describe alternatives you've considered
If GitHub pages seems incompatible, we could think about going for a hosting service since postwoman.net and postwoman.io have been brought by our kind supporters.

Additional context
Need thoughts on improving Postwoman. How about we start a feature request issue ticket so that people could request and discuss further features.

I'm happy to host Postwoman for you for free. (I can use the web servers for ApolloTV).
If you have domains for postwoman, I think we should get those set up - I could host a proxy application to deal with CORS and HTTP-only requests.

@NBTX few of my supporters said me the same thing. Among them, two guys brought postwoman.net and postwoman.io domains and hosted my GitHub deployment. They contacted me via email and promised they won't alter anything and will serve as it is in GitHub pages.

Basically I'm not good with domains, hosting and stuffs except I'd some side projects hosted on Firebase and on free hosting services such as freenom.

I very much appreciate if you could help me. Shall I ask them to transfer ownership of those domains to me? I don't know whether they ask for money and all, even though both of them said they'd do it for free.

UPDATE: I just checked postwoman.net and it seems they haven't caught up with latest deployment whereas postwoman.io seems to be serving latest build

Yeah I checked both and one seems to be directly mirroring the GitHub pages (the .io) and the other seems to be stagnant on the older HTML one.

I think it would be beneficial for you to take ownership of the domains, just because if there's anything that needs to be updated, you'd be the first to know.

An ideal solution might be to use CloudFlare DNS - the domain owners can put in CloudFlare's nameservers and then you set up the domain on CloudFlare with a CloudFlare account you own - then you'll be able to manage the DNS for Postwoman.

Lemme contact them and ask for transferring the domain ownership. And will let you know.

UPDATE 0: The owner for postwoman.net has agreed to transfer the full ownership of domain to me on Google domains after 60 days due to some per registrar policies.

UPDATE 1: Got the access for postwoman.net @NBTX How should I contact you? I'm on Twitter @liyasthomas.

It might be an idea to encourage people to add a link to postwoman to their site.
The absolute best thing for SEO is backlinks from organic traffic.

Finally, ownership of postwoman.io is transferred. What's next?
Can't we just use custom URL for GitHub pages..?
