Currently building a CORS Proxy.

After working on it for a while, I noticed there’s a stigma around using CORS proxies, often associated with fetching undocumented APIs.

While that’s sometimes true, I’m hoping to change that perception, to show that they can also be used for accessing real APIs. It just requires the proxy to correctly handle credentials and secrets.

The idea is to open up more possibilities for building static-first apps without worrying about CORS.
