Hey @undefined , I respect you as a fellow Farcaster and a good builder. 

But copying our website (percs.app) is not cool.

Also, you claim our clients as yours on your website. That's a blatant lie. 

Be better. Be based. Apologize and let's build a better ecosystem together

Real talk time founders.

I appreciate the call out @chinmay.eth, AND it’s always been my assumption when building that my code will be stolen.  Nothing we put online is defensible, therefore our advantage has to lie outside of “the code”.

How do you feel about this, reader?

I think the partners section was pretty egregious, but as a web dev don’t you inspect to see how someone accomplished a cool effect?  And as a community doesn’t it benefit us to have high-quality stuff proliferate?

I guess it’s been ingrained into me that people will steal my code so I don’t really feel as strongly as others on this.  I see lots of vitriol and I am having trouble internalizing it.

At scale, ofc ppl can and will copy your stuff (esp if you're building a "protocol"). But seeing it in a small community like FC pisses me off.

Seems like a misunderstanding in this case, but anyone considering copying for real should expect the other person to use their reputation and network to salt their fields.

🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I make beautiful, functional, and ethically made candles at humankind.place

Yeah the customers part was a straight up lie, which is not ok.

Copying the design is fine. Using the customers (when they’re not your customers) is not ok

I was really bothered by it but in some back channel discussions apparently the website was unknowingly accessible and some placeholder assets were left in tact.

I just wish people would take a second and slow down. Haste makes waste, etc.

I always have that type of fear but when building in public, feel somehow more protected than off chain. At least here I can pow.
