+# Steam URL Converter
+
+A simple, standalone web app that converts Steam URLs to shareable HTTPS links. Perfect for sharing Steam lobby links on platforms like Discord where steam:// URLs are not clickable.
+
+## Deployment
+
+The app is completely self-contained in a single `index.html` file. You can host it anywhere:
+
+- GitHub Pages
+- Netlify
+- Vercel
+- Any web hosting service that can serve static files
+
+## How it Works
+
+1. When hosted (e.g., at `https://yourdomain.com/`), the app will generate links like:
+   ```
+   https://yourdomain.com/?url=steam%3A%2F%2Fjoinlobby%2F1131190%2F109775241747665514
+   ```
+
+2. When someone clicks the generated link, the app automatically redirects them to the original Steam URL:
+   ```
+   steam://joinlobby/1131190/109775241747665514
+   ```
+
+## Examples
+
+Original Steam URL:
+```
+steam://joinlobby/1131190/109775241747665514
+```
+
+Generated shareable link (if hosted on example.com):
+```
+https://example.com/?url=steam%3A%2F%2Fjoinlobby%2F1131190%2F109775241747665514
+```
+
+The app will work the same way regardless of where it's hosted - it automatically uses whatever domain it's running on to generate the correct links.
+
+## Features
+
+- No external dependencies
+- Single file deployment
+- Works on any hosting platform
+- Automatic URL parameter handling
+- Client-side only (no server required)
