Interesting idea and I am excited to try out.

That said, trying to actually get started (as a publisher) is a little challenging. Theres no reference to the script that has to be loaded on the dashboard -- I had to find it in your FAQ.

I cant remove a site that had a typo in the address -- when I tried to overwrite it I now have two with the same name.

I'm also hitting a CORB issue on my dev site -- though to be honest I havent spent too much time yet on it, but it is preventing me from deploying ContextCue ads

Thanks for trying this out! We should probably warn potential users that this is still in the early stages (we've been working on this for nearly a year and figured we should get some feedback).

1. Definitely a good idea (I'm glad you could find it in the FAQ though!)

2. We definitely need to be able to edit sites, just didn't make it in time.

3. We probably need to revisit how the development flow is here. I believe the site needs to match the hostname + port. Ex. "localhost:3000"

Thanks -- I can email your support account, but #3 at first was CORS, then it became CORB when I got the ports working (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/serv...)

How are the ads served? Are you using Javascript or simple images? If it's the former I'm afraid there's no way to trust you (as the JS can change at any time and become malicious).

You can use subresource integrity to prevent them swapping out the javascript.
