There were a few points in development where this happened. Can't really launch a product that might arbitrarily break. I could go the route of having a server in the middle that acts as a cache or something, but that's a lot of work for something that will (hopefully) be superseded by an official app someday. - Being that the Smash.gg API is pretty unofficial, it's also not particularly well documented.

If you like what you see here, or you get some use out of it, or if you're just feeling overall generous, I'd encourage you to donate to a fund of your choice for cancer patients. If you're an esports org that wants to send him some swag or something, hit me up and I'm happy to help orchestrate it. + ### What's Included in Here? Good question! This repo has the following stuff pretty much working:
