Code's source code was leaked via a source map file left in their package. Someone published it here: https://lnkd.in/dwgDP4AU
To be clear, this isn't a hack or a security breach. It's a build pipeline oversight. Source maps were bundled into a production npm release, making the original TypeScript readable to anyone who looked.
The exposed code reveals interesting details, internal architecture, and even unreleased features. No user data is at risk, but it's a meaningful IP exposure.
Building fast becomes easy. Building fast without breaking things becomes increasingly complex.

The Jigokudani Monkey Park
by Japanify
Why do wild monkeys bathe in hot springs? In Jigokudani, nature, survival, and quiet magic meet.
High in the mountains of Nagano, Japanese macaques learned an unusual trick to survive brutal winters: soaking in natural hot springs. What began as a simple response to freezing temperatures slowly became a daily ritual. Today, these "snow monkeys" calmly bathe in steaming pools while snow falls around them, completely unfazed by human visitors. But Jigokudani is more than a cute spectacle.
The valley's name means "Hell's Valley," inspired by the steaming vents and rugged cliffs surrounding the springs. Over time, the monkeys' behavior turned the place into a symbol of adaptation, patience, and harmony with nature—showing how intelligence, not force, helps life endure even the harshest environments.

The Story of Kimono, by Japanify
How a simple garment shaped Japanese culture, identity, and values across centuries.
The Kimono began as a practical, everyday clothing designed to waste nothing and adapt to Japan's climate and lifestyle. Made from straight pieces of fabric, it reflected values of simplicity, repair, and harmony with nature. Over time, colors, patterns, and layers turned the kimono into a silent language that communicated age, status, season, and personal philosophy.
As Japan modernized, Western clothing challenged the kimono's role in daily life. Instead of disappearing, the kimono evolved into a symbol of tradition, craftsmanship, and intentional living. Passed through generations and reinterpreted by modern designers, it remains a living expression of patience, sustainability, and cultural continuity.
