OAuth 2.0 Auth Tokens & User Experience

Hello,

I am the founder of an EdTech startup called Homework Muffin. We help busy students avoid that chaotic feeling of disorganization in their semester by creating organizational tools so they can live balanced lives.

We're working on developing interaction with Canvas now. Our current process requires the user to enter their own authentication from Canvas and put that into our app so that we can receive assignment data. Is there any way to make that process either invisible or easy for the user, just like logging into a normal app?

Our second problem is that we encounter a CORS issue between our site and the Canvas instance. We have resolved this via a proxy, but scaling it to every school will become cumbersome. Any recommendations for how to resolve this better?

Regards,
