withai.nyc - Public Website & Legal Documents

Created: January 14, 2026

Overview

This repository hosts the public website for WithAI Research, Inc. at withai.nyc. It contains:

• Landing page (index.html) - Simple company page
• Terms of Service (terms.html) - Legal terms for WithAI VS Code extension
• Privacy Policy (privacy.html) - Privacy policy for WithAI VS Code extension

These pages are linked from the WithAI VS Code extension (welcome popup, settings panel).

Context: What This Is For

WithAI Research is shipping a VS Code extension that provides:

• WYSIWYG markdown editor
• Claude Code settings management
• Workspace setup tools

The extension collects optional email/company info via a welcome popup (sent to Google Forms). Legal requirements necessitate Terms of Service and Privacy Policy documents. This repo hosts those documents.

Why a separate repo?

• The extension repo (withai-extension) is PRIVATE and contains proprietary code
• Legal pages need to be publicly accessible
• GitHub Pages requires a public repo (or paid GitHub Pro)
• Clean separation of concerns

Setup Status

Completed

• Terms of Service drafted (adapted from Basecamp’s open-source policies, CC BY 4.0)
• Privacy Policy drafted
• HTML pages created with clean styling
• CNAME file configured for withai.nyc
• Landing page created

Next Steps

1. Initialize Git Repo

cd /Users/btsfinch/ben-home/intersection-home/withai.nyc
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit: legal pages and landing"

2. Create GitHub Repo

# Option A: Using GitHub CLI
gh repo create withai-research/withai.nyc --public --source=. --remote=origin --push

# Option B: Create via GitHub web UI, then:
git remote add origin git@github.com:withai-research/withai.nyc.git
git push -u origin main

Note: Replace withai-research with your actual GitHub org/username if different.

3. Enable GitHub Pages

1. Go to repo Settings → Pages
2. Source: Deploy from branch
3. Branch: main, folder: / (root)
4. Save

4. Configure DNS (at your domain registrar)

Add these A records for apex domain:

Type    Host    Value
A       @       185.199.108.153
A       @       185.199.109.153
A       @       185.199.110.153
A       @       185.199.111.153

Or for www subdomain:

Type    Host    Value
CNAME   www     withai-research.github.io

5. Enable HTTPS

After DNS propagates (can take up to 48 hours, usually faster):

1. Go to repo Settings → Pages
2. Check “Enforce HTTPS”

6. Verify

curl -I https://withai.nyc/terms
curl -I https://withai.nyc/privacy
