Mandarin API

Today and yesterday I worked on adding new endpoints and generally updating the fixing the API, I added API keys, CORS, and other forms of validation including rate limiting. The next step will be building a webpage to generate and manage API keys.

Hello World! This is Mandarin API’s first devlog, I kind of forgot how to start these lol!
This is going to be a TS Hono API that takes english as an input and translates it into all forms of Mandarin Chinese, this includes Traditional (Taiwan), Simplified (Main Land), and PinYin (English Speaker Readable).

I am building this tool because I love Taiwan and am working on learning Chinese so I can live there someday :)

Technical Specs:

• Bun (Faster than Node)
• Hono (Easy and fast works with Bun)
• Translation (OpenRouter model for now eventually custom solution)

This first version is a MVP to get things working before I implement a custom translation solution!
