🐝 Hive Five 106 – Fearless CORS, JavaScript Analysis, and Subdomain Takeovers

Hi friends,

Greetings from the hive!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.

As a web developer, I’m always on the lookout for the latest technology and trends. This week, I came across an interesting discussion on Ask HN: What would your stack be if you were building an MVP today?, where the popular answer was the Petal Stack (Phoenix, Elixir, TailwindCSS, Alpine.js, and Liveview). As a fan of TailwindCSS and Alpine.js, I’m excited to dive into the rest of the stack.

What new tech has caught your interest? Reply to this email and let me know!

PS: Last week, I somehow included the wrong link for the Broken Access Control guide. Here’s the correct one .

Let’s take this week by swarm!
