Add a zip file of the gh-pages (static web app) as a release, to easily download it for offline use

Hi again,
I just tried to download a zip file from GitHub, when viewing the gh-pages, and oh yes opening the index.html works on my laptop even offline.
It's great, but not advertised per se here on this project, and it's quite a "tricky move" to think of (as git cloning and checking this gh-pages already requires to have git etc).
Maybe you could add, once in a while, this zip file in the release tab and explain that it can be downloaded, saved somewhere for offline use.
Or a simpler action would be to add in the README a link to the zip file: https://github.com/felixhao28/JSCPP/archive/gh-pages.zip
(oh and I also tried to install it using WebCatalog, it works well too!)
It is tricky to create a pure local webpage with JS/images/CSS files, due to the security limitations of most browsers. I would normally suggest using http-server as a workaround but WebCatalog seems better.
The gh-pages, or the online debugger page, is intended to showcase the capabilities of JSCPP. You can use it if it serves your needs but I don't plan to release it as part of JSCPP.
