“[dead] Hey HN!<p>I&#x27;ve been building web apps for years and I&#x27;ve spent WAY too much time debugging CORS errors and dealing with file upload complexity. So I built ObitoX.<p>*What it does:* - Auto CORS configuration (30 seconds vs 4 hours) - 18x faster batch uploads (proved in production) - Magic bytes validation (prevents type spoofing) - Smart network detection (prevents upload failures) - Universal SDK (S3, R2, Supabase, Uploadcare)<p>*The architecture:* - Files upload DIRECTLY to storage (privacy-first) - Redis-optimized backend (8 commands&#x2F;request) - 6-layer security (rate limiting, HMAC signatures) - Provider instance pattern (like AWS SDK, cleaner API)<p>*Free tier:* 1,000 requests&#x2F;month<p>Try it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;obitox.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;obitox.dev</a><p>I know HN is tough on Show HN posts, but I&#x27;d genuinely love feedback from this community. What file upload problems do YOU face?<p>Tech details: - Express + Redis backend - Next.js frontend - Supabase database - Digital Ocean hosting - 11&#x2F;11 tests passing (100% coverage)<p>Happy to answer any technical questions!”
