The problem it solves

If you customize your Squarespace site with header or footer code, there's no built-in version history. One accidental edit or deletion and you could lose that code with no way to recover it.

Who it fits

Squarespace site owners or web managers who rely on custom code injections and want a safety net.

How it works

  1. You run the backup on demand or on a schedule
  2. The system fetches the current header and footer code from your Squarespace site
  3. It compares the code against what's already saved
  4. The latest version is saved to a GitHub repository, organized by site
What you get

Site code you never have to recreate

Your Squarespace header and footer code stays safely backed up to GitHub in case anything ever goes wrong.

What you get

A version-controlled backup of your site's custom code, stored safely in GitHub.

What you need

A Squarespace website and a GitHub account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
