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).

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

There was Cappucino by ex-Apple employees, and actual Apple devs had SproutCore. So where did they go? Why some unknown libraries?

    It's using Svelte, I wouldn't exactly call that unknown. Why maintain your own library when a third party one does exactly what you need?

    Unsurprisingly there are many frameworks/initiatives that end up falling by the wayside over the years, e.g. MacRuby was being lined up to supersede Objective-C for app development at one point.

App store uses svelte? :o

    And the Windows 11 start menu is just React Native. Strange times indeed.

      It's pretty clear to me that JavaScript is becoming the de facto standard for UI/UX programming, regardless of platform, and regardless of web vs. native targets. Even GNOME has JavaScript bindings. [0]

      What the fuck. Does that mean alternative start menus (e.g. Stardock Start11) are provably faster & lighter on resources?

Just came here to post this.

Curious if it was done intentionally or simply due to hurrying.

    It's not a bug! Websites are supposed to have human-readable markup and scripts.

    It appears to have been an accident now - they fixed the issue two hours after I posted on Reddit.

      Curious if you get any sort of takedown notice.

    The web version of the App Store? It's always been web and webview based, there used to be a preferences/default command to enable web inspector for App store, Music and more Apple apps on MacOS.
