In 2025, we can and should simplify Web development
To demonstrate this, we've developed the WikiRoom Web application, which has the same functionality as WikiTok, the application that's been making the buzz lately because it was developed in just a few hours using AI Claude and React 18. Well, WikiRoom uses less than 14 kB of JavaScript, compared with nearly 170 kB for WikiTok! More information on this article on our blog.

I made this, and it's fully open source so if someone wants to contribute here you have the url: https://github.com/Miguel07Alm/arxivtok.
For this project I was inspired by https://wikitok.vercel.app.

There's many services to solve this pain point. I've used https://allorigins.win/ in the past.

API Calls made from Frontend vs Node
If you are making API calls that are unique or that get you ip banned or rate limited then make them from the frontend if not then from the backend. Also the CORS errors are for security reason and they happen if the call is made from the frontend to a site or API that does not have cors control headers specified. CORS errors can be bypassed with the https://allorigins.win/ API (hacky bypass) if you really need to make the call from the frontend. So be sure to always make calls from the backend if possible.

Show HN: Another AWS EC2 instance comparison tool that's always up to date
I hope you have either considered donating[1] or otherwise have an agreement with gnuns because if this project ever catches on, it's going to shove a lot of content through what appears to be a development tool
Also, kind of related, pulling things directly from AWS APIs are always going to be ... fun, so I hope either your JS, allorigins.win, or both, have some retry and backoff logic in place
