I might just be paranoid but is wefwef.app safe? Any of you guys use it?
I’m primarly curious how much of wefwef is proxied versus directly pulled from instance.

Open source, so anyone can look through the code, or self host it even.
It‘s a progressive web app, which is a little different than a website; it’s built in HTML/JS like a website, but has no server. You can install it on your device and it talks directly to your Lemmy instance. In effect it’s no different from any other Lemmy app except for being built in web programming languages instead of Swift/Kotlin (app programming languages).
This is actually not true. Because of CORS issues (which block you from querying a domain’s resources while on another domain name on a browser), it proxies all of the requests using a backend server.
I trust wefwef.app - the developers have been working hard and advocating for permissive CORS to avoid to proxy all of the client’s requests.
