- lanyard-textile 1y agoOof! You certainly did, I remember reading this and not thinking that much of it at the time.
- paulddraper 1y agoWhat’s the issue?
- embedding-shape 1y ago> It exposes all your frontend source code for everyone. If you don't want to open source your frontend, you might want to remove those source maps from public access. I wonder how much difference LLMs today have on being able to turn minified JS into something easily readable? JSNice already worked pretty well and I guess that was comparatively naive. You won't really stop anyone motivated to reverse-engineer it by not providing source maps, but you'll definitely stop at least some curious people from understanding how websites work. Your frontend also doesn't suddenly turn "open source" just because you shared the original source via source maps, that part sounds kind of FUD.
