So now your apps can get data from around the web without worrying about CORS.

https://jssocial.pw/proxy/https://poal.co/static/logos/poalogo-bd1-d.svg

Of course you have to be signed in to use it so it won't be completely abused or hotlinked.

Here is a quick example of it in action:

https://jsos.pw/app/poalpics
https://jsos.pw/app/poalpics/hoppeanism
https://jsos.pw/app/poalpics/cars/top

Here is the code for that: https://jssocial.pw/u/poalpics

But besides the pictures the point is apps can go anywhere on the net without CORS getting in the way.

Edit: Added torproxy at /torproxy, in case an app needs to do something anonymously.
(Really it's so my server doesn't get in trouble looking up your shit if an app is doing anything that I don't want my server looking up).

Neat. Wish I wasn't so tech illiterate.

I think it means the wizards have come up with new magic spells.

I still like jsos for some reason. It's way shorter.

I wanted to get the images laid out better but nothing on cdnjs seemed to format anything the way I wanted.

Next I want to make it so you can store cookie jars on the server and attach them to requests.

There's an "expand all pics" button in each sub sidebar (or bottom on mobile) to load them all at once.

I know. The point was the proxy, but then I realized no one would get that it can do useful things so I made a demo app. Loading pics from poal is just what I thought of.

I also thought about fetching search results from google. The point is to be able to make apps that don't need a back end. Doing a request on the back end to get around CORS is a pretty common thing to do so now people won't have that limitation.

Anyways maybe this is a good chance to list what it can do:
Store a file (public and private) Store any key value association (public and private) Talk to peers
Register in a "location" to help peers find each other
Fork code with a single function rewrite
Pull content from anywhere on the web C like includes

That's backend

Front end I have this so far

Upload files
Chat with people
Synchronized video
Codepen/jsfiddle like app
Publish a web page
Notebook app
Make jackbox tv like games
Control a presentation on a tv from your phone

The final goal is to create an operating system with multiple people working on it.

That's pretty neat. Thanks for sharing it!
