Some guide sites are offline?

It appears as though some guides for which there are repositories for here are not actually online. Is this intentional? None of these guides seem to be online despite having repositories:

• https://psp.cfw.guide
• https://ps2.cfw.guide
• https://ps3.cfw.guide
• https://ps4.cfw.guide
• https://docs.cfw.guide (technically online, but site is broken)

I am attempting to make a site that helps tell users at a glance if they can even homebrew their consoles with links to guides, and have found that the PlayStation/Xbox scenes seem to be lacking in the guides department compared to the Nintendo scene. Information is scattered everywhere and almost always outdated, so I've been looking for a reliable, centralized, source for guides (see jonbarrow/canihomebrew#13)

https://hacks.guide seems to only be interested in Nintendo consoles now (despite the Vita being there), and so I was excited to see you guys have repositories for these platforms

Were they ever online? I thought most of the listed ones were incomplete

The docs one definitely was at one point, since it's still online right now it's just broken (404s with a link back to itself)

As for the others, I'm not sure if they were ever online under the cfw.guide domain (this is really my first time using the site outside of the Cemu guide), but the repos themselves seem to imply that they SHOULD be online? Or were at some point?

All of the PlayStation guides I linked to have repos which have links to guides in their READMEs, the only difference being that instead of cfw.guide it's under the emiyl.com domain. Using the links in the repos leads to a 404 like the docs guide, except for the PS4 guide which does seem to be fully available at https://ps4.emiyl.com (though it does say it's incomplete and the last time it was updated was mid 2022)

So it's not super clear tbh if they were ever online under the cfw.guide domain or not, that's part of the reason why I asked was to see if this was intentional or not. If that's intentional then that answers the question, there just doesn't seem to be any indication that they shouldn't be online just based on the repos themselves? Especially since they do have links to guides which are broken

Those guides were never finished and currently don't have a maintainer.

The Vita guide was also originally my guide as well, but it got transferred over to hacks.guide a few years ago. Other than that, I don't believe the hacks.guide team are interested in expanding outside of Nintendo.

We should probably disable GH Pages on the incomplete ones.

As far as Vita goes, it's basically a grandfathered project as a result of the handover from Plailect to Nintendo Homebrew. A different group of people than NH (namely, emiyl, HENkaku discord and I) manage it.
