It's been a while, I don't have much to say, other than I recently updated some of my older projects:
- About a year ago, I had hastily modified this to require all the static assets to be served from the same domain, in order to satisfy a Content Security Policy (CSP).
 - Unfortunately, this broke 3rd party embedding use cases including my blog comments system.
 - I also forgot to fully update the docs and example project, so it became a lot less usable. Sorry about that.
 - I started getting bug reports about GrapheneOS users not being able to pass the bot deterrent.
 
As of now all those issues should be fixed.

I changed it so now there are two ways to use it, either with everything on the same domain, data-pow-bot-deterrent-static-assets-path, or with the static assets downloaded from the separate bot-deterrent domain, data-pow-bot-deterrent-static-assets-cross-origin-url.
I also updated all of my apps that use the 💥PoW! Bot Deterrent:
- sequentialread-comments (blog comments system)
 - 📤📚 picopublish (minimalist upload-and-share tool)
 - pow-bot-deterrent-rp (AI scraper bot blocker, similar to Anubis. Specifically intended for source code forges like Gitea, Forgejo, etc.)
 
I publish multi-architechture docker images for each of these to docker hub, so if you want to use the binaries that way, you can:
