- You mean it's no longer built with WebObjects!

- sourcemaps should be enabled -- that's how people learn.
a lot of people learned to code on the web via viewsource - now we are obfuscating the code
- OP here..
Here's the original post by the author of the repo himself:

- As a frequent user of the backend (Connect), I am skeptical that this is source that you want to reproduce (unless you're a scammer).
- Is there any reason sourcemaps are a genuine problem? I'm out of touch with the JS world, but I wonder if code is shared between server and client and server code may show in sourcemaps.

- I remember when all websites “exposed” their source code.

This issue is very wide-spread.
- Still not sure What was the excitement about.
Was it, HTML, CSS & Javascript?
- How DMCA can take down code that was published in the web?
- In case you want to save sources with the ability to fetch all possible lazy chunks, last year I made a tool to do exactly that:
https://github.com/zb3/getfrontend
(note it won't work on apps.apple.com because apple has removed these sourcemaps)
- There was Cappucino by ex-Apple employees, and actual Apple devs had SproutCore. So where did they go? Why some unknown libraries?
- App store uses svelte? :o
- Dumb question but Apple’s apps are buttery smooth. I just assumed they were using swift and not a web stack to render their UI. Am I completely wrong?!
- I downloaded the code from the repository yesterday, but it's really not very interesting.
- Damn, I was about to clone this but it's now taken down :(
- Is that a problem if the design is good & secrets did not leek as well ? :)

- Just came here to post this.
Curious if it was done intentionally or simply due to hurrying.
- Honestly the site[1] is very basic and pretty damn slow. When I click into a different category there is a noticeable delay of 1-2 seconds before the new page loads. I don't want to replicate this in any of my own projects.

- A DMCA takedown is inappropriate, as no copyright was circumvented. It was freely distributed (albeit briefly) on Apple's own website. A DMCA takedown at this point is entrapment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrapment.
