Very cool! I'm curious what you need a backend server for, can't you store everything in the PDS and localStorage?

CORS is the fundamental reason, need at least a feed proxy to get around that and at that point might as well do a whole appview etc.

oh, crazy. I had assumed since there are no api keys and all data is public, PDSs send appropriate CORS headers? bummer. is the backend also open source? the frontend repo README has a link that 404s.

PDSs are fine the issue is RSS feeds can't always be fetched from the browser because site operators don't always put the right CORS headers on them. I'm just about to make the backend public

I see, thanks, looking forward to take a look at the code as well!
