Worth knowing
Requires a browser-only build embedded in the itch.io project page; no backend process or programmable server. It is optimized for creative projects, not generic business-site publishing. Initial browser-playable channel tagging and project type must be set in the Edit game page; a CLI push alone does not configure an HTML5 embed. Browser-game payments are donations; paid downloads use a separate project configuration. Password gating is verified for the project page, not all direct asset URLs.
