Assessing the feasibility of PSKOV 2 without Local Host Access

PSKOV 2 and original PSKOV assume there is Local Host Access running in order to access PC's local filesystem to read Markdown files and write HTML ones.

In March I assessed if Isomorphic-Git is able to read and write to Git repositories from a web browser. The assessment succeeded. Actually, this was the second assessment of Isomorphic-Git. The first one happened in 2021, however, it ended as a failure because Isomorphic-Git cannot work without CORS proxy with, say, GitHub due to web browser limitations.

Isomoprhic-Git's dependency on CORS proxy is still there, though. However this time I've discovered Vercel service with a free plan that allows anyone to run his own copy of CORS proxy (here's the guide). This solves the problem of accessing GitHub, at least unless Vercel goes bankrupt.

In April I plan to further the research of Git by creating a tiny notes application. This will help me understand how to use Git in PSKOV 2.
