I think I broke it by creating the username `index.html`. Sorry, I wasn't expecting it to do anything.

True, but this is exactly why I post it here. To see my mistakes and fix it before put up a project for everyone. :)

Now try `.well-known/acme-challenge`, or the `google123456789asbcef.html` authentication file!

The Username google43434343 would be too long. Max 12. :) Also input a forbidden list which should be filter the most crap in usernames. :)

Hmm, what is "the google[...].html authentication file" ?

We roped off all of /.well-known/ and it is after all under a dot directory which ought to have been caught by a lot of existing software anyway, it seems like if people have things they want treated this way they ought to live in /.well-known/ too, it's not as though the registration process is onerous, you just need to write a specification for your thing.

What do these do? The latter is, er, ungoogleable.

Google lets you prove ownership of a website by hosting a specific file with a unique name they provide. When you’re the owner, Google lets you see search analytics for your site.

Here’s the one for my site: https://memalign.github.io/googlefc60e159eedb4219.html
