ok so debate arena is finally fully working
spent way too long fighting CORS errors trying to call hack club ai directly from the browser (turns out you just can’t, it’s server side only). ended up spinning up a cloudflare worker as a proxy so the browser talks to the worker, worker talks to hack club ai, no more CORS nonsense
also added a HC / NPC tab switcher on the setup screen. hack club ai is the default (free, no card needed), npc mode lets you bring your own gemini/openai/claude key if you want your specific model fighting
