Developer suggestion - OAuth for hosted web apps

Hi,

I think it would be helpful if a section in the developer docs covered hosting of games on itch.io with OAuth requirement.

Unlike github API the itch.io API has added 'X-Frame-Options' to 'sameorigin' constraint so it is not obvious or questionably possible to use the API from an embedded web game.

p.s. dev sandbox is here https://nitrologic.itch.io/roa

We'll have an official API client for web games out sometime. We intentionally block iframe requests and cross-domains requests right now for security reasons. Sorry about the delay.
