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.
