I never wanted to get rid of it because I really liked it and I would make something someday. So I kept on renewing it committing to myself that "someday" would eventually arrive. </p> <p>So here we are, it is now someday! In my work training people with visual impairments to use assistive technology, I saw how frustrating it can be when web content fails and the cause isn’t clear. That experience is part of what interests me about making browser problems easier to understand. When browsers block a request with a CORS error, it isn’t always obvious where to start. I built AnotherExample to help explore what’s happening by comparing a failing request with a similar request to a known-working test endpoint. The comparison helps narrow down where to investigate next.</p> <p>So here's a free CORS troubleshooting tool for you - Input is very much welcome about anything. It's still a work in progress. Should you give it a try, I’d love to hear whether it helped and anything you found confusing. <a href="https://anotherexample.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">anotherexample.com</a></p> showdev
