+# 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][vercel] service with a free plan
+that allows anyone to run his own copy of CORS proxy (here's the
+[guide][guide]). This solves the problem of accessing GitHub, at least unless
+Vercel goes bankrupt.
+
+# April
+
+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.
