Issue description

I was exploring Mithril today, and I tried following some of the links in the documentation pages. Unfortunately, I hit a lot of 404 errors. So, I wanted to let you know about them here.

On the Examples page (https://mithril.js.org/examples.html), these links are broken (404):

The link to Tic Tac Toe is broken, and it takes me here: https://flems.io/

On the Framework comparison page (https://mithril.js.org/framework-comparison.html), these links are broken (404):

https://mithril.js.org/framework-comparison.html
        404     https://mithril.js.org/request.md#file-uploads
        404     https://mithril.js.org/route.md#authentication

        404     https://raw.githack.com/MithrilJS/mithril.js/master/examples/dbmonster/vue/index.html

Here is a much longer list of 404 errors all over the documentation website:

Notes for later:

• Fixed raw.githack.com/* links in example.md
• Fixed raw.githack.com/* links in framework-comparison.md
• Flems links are malformed in example.md
• Not corrected *.md links in framework-comparison.md, I suspect a build script issue

[dead-claudia]

Further fixes are invited, of course.

[dead-claudia]

Fixed all the non-archive links to markdown pages with anchors.

[dead-claudia]

Note: the archives are low-priority, and will probably need a large scripted fix as they're just all compiled HTML.

[dead-claudia]

@slowkow Could you re-run your scripts and separate their outputs into archive/ and non-archive/?

Everything except the Flems links should be fixed, though admittedly the list is awkward to go through on mobile.

[slowkow]

@dead-claudia Thank you so much for the quick fix!

I ran muffet again with --exclude archive and this is the result I see now:

Here is an attachment that includes about 2000 or so broken archive links:

Okay, I'll go ahead and state that the ThreaditJS example won't be fixed right away. Once I get another chance, I'll resolve the other links in that non-archive list.

Note to whoever fixes it:

• You'll need to reimplement or at least stub out the API in https://github.com/mixonic/threaditjs/tree/master. May be easiest to just use a service worker (maybe watching ./api) and possibly IndexedDB to mock it out. The actual server resides in https://github.com/mixonic/threaditjs/blob/master/lib/api.js, which may be helpful for porting.
• You'll need to add the missing scripts from there. If those perform fetches to api.threaditjs.com, they'll need re-pointed accordingly.
