@njx @MarcelGerber how about something shorter like:
Check the URL or go to the Homepage.
I kind of like the funny tone of the original (although I feel like I've seen the "404. That's an error." tagline somewhere else before, so we might want to come up with something different). But yeah, shorter would be good.
Maybe we can show different 404 messages randomly if @MarcelGerber also wants to have fun :)
"You found our 404 page!"
@njx Yeah, that string is from somewhere else -- I think Google uses it on all their sites? Personally, I've never liked it though -- it's always come across a little supercilious to me... I think we could have a more friendly tone.
Yup, that's kind of what I was thinking.
@larz0 Haha, I like that last suggestion
"Dead Link. You may know that from Zelda."
@adrocknaphobia would love that one.
CONTENT WARNING PLZ
404 (WARNING: GRAPHIC)
Guys, I can change the (any) text to anything you want, but I need to know what to change it to :cat:
@peterflynn Yes, it's Google. See http://google.com/404
@MarcelGerber for now could you use:
Check if you have the right URL or go to the Homepage.
@larz0 Done.
Sounds good and not at all traumatic.
Hehe cool. I'm going to merge this :+1:
Works. Now the only thing missing is our custom 418 page (I'm a teapot) :laughing:
@larz0 CONTENT WARNING AGAIN PLZ
The robot in the graphic in the Google 404 page looks like the Brackets self-help robot gone wrong:

@lkcampbell We actually have that image on the server already: http://brackets.io/img/bg-brackey-bot.jpg At first, I wanted to use it (probably inspired by the Google 404 page -- I took a look at some other 404 pages, of both well-known and rather unknown websites, to get inspired), but then I noticed it has a white background (instead of a transparent one) and therefore doesn't fit into a blue background.
Adds a custom 404 page to Brackets.
