Watch: the text index, description and README name webhooks and events (#43)

OP OpenVibers committed 11 Oct 2026 · 432f3218af · 3 files, +3 −3

The text index (`/` for a client that does not ask for HTML), the search and share description, and the README lede still said "pages, feeds and APIs". They now include webhooks and OpenVibe events, as the HTML home page has since #42. Copy only; covering tests pass.
