https should be used by default. It works with Cloudflare and GitHub, see https://websectools.com and https://github.com/DanielRuf/WebSecTools

Modern browsers are pushing more and more to a https-only internet and many apps and search results often redirect to the https version which often causes issues if there is no valid TLS certificate ;-)

Materialize is using github hosting in combination with a (I guess) DNS provider. Github hosting offers https but due to the custom domain the certificate is not valid. Maybe Materialize could switch to cloudflare, where a ssl certificate is free and included?

There isn't any sensitive information that should be sent from either side on our website, so I don't think this is all that necessary.

To quote an article at Googles Web Fundamentals

You should always protect all of your websites with HTTPS, even if they don鈥檛 handle sensitive communications.

Maybe (in the future) we should consider to move to netlify
See: https://macwright.org/2017/05/08/https.html & https://netlify.com

I agree with @tomscholz this isn't a priority right now.
