Let me DuckDuckGo it for you: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=javascript+realm+shim

I think he's asking about the layer we built on top of the shim to copy objects in and out of it. It's open-sourceable, we can consider it.

thanks!

think about this for a second: your competitor is asking to copy your work.

If I were you, I wouldn't assume good intentions especially considering you are just a start up and in a race for marketshare.

If it were up to me, I would set a date a year or two in the future and then open source it then, but only AFTER you have a large enough lead against your competitors in the market.

There is no reason that I can see to open source the secret sauce of your entire product.

we're not competing with Figma (though we are happy customers), and we already open source everything we do, we're Mozilla.

I see only now your reply (I’m the “let me DDG it for you" guy). Sorry for my unelegant answer!

Even if they were a competitor, it's still something worth sharing. I wish more companies shared technology that made software more secure.

We're kinda of all in this together. Security shouldn't be a feature or a competitive advantage, it should be a standard practice that all developers follow and participate in.

Everyone benefits when software is more secure.
