CaseMark dresses up its hosted Mike demo for opening night
kveton ships a clean pause switch and a status check so the public mike.casemark.dev demo can go dark gracefully without yanking the whole app offline.
The hosted demo at mike.casemark.dev now has a public status endpoint that reports whether the instance is live or paused, and a frontend that swaps to a lightweight "demo paused" landing page when CaseMark flips the switch. Useful when a hosted demo blows through its daily budget or needs a quiet window between trial campaigns - visitors get a clear holding page instead of a broken-looking app.
Crucially, the pause behaviour only kicks in for the hosted instance. Anyone forking the repo or running it locally falls straight through to the normal app, so the demo plumbing doesn't bleed into other deployments. kveton also wrote up the hosted demo's spend caps, the bring-your-own-key override that lets curious users push past the demo's limits with their own credentials, and refreshed the repo's public-facing metadata ahead of launch.
