I created a (very simple) website for SSC. It was intentionally retro, designed to recreate the feel of a specialist website for a command line utility, mostly because it was a specialist website for a command line utility.
Once, on the page, you would have see most of the things you can find in various files in the SSC source code. It included a small form to try SSC out without downloading and installing an executable.
The form was neither complicated nor sophisticated—it wasn’t enough to let people test the full scope of SSC. It was a simple snippet checker. People could paste bits of HTML into the form, turn the handle, and out come the sausa … er … results.
It didn’t show off any of the more powerful features of SSC, such as site checking, or site analysis.
I limited the security risks, somewhat, by hosting the chrooted site under OpenBSD.
