#32great work, although I would expect some lash back from the React/SPA front end dev guys ;-)
Nah, this is great.

If anyone "stole" one of my components the only thing I can do is pray for them. I'm not worried ;)

The whole globe? No. But the berne convention does have 179 signatory countries. It's not just "western". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention
"A copyright cannot cover ideas, procedures, or methods of operation. You can copyright your website’s design, but you can’t copyright the way you created the design." If you use the components to create a new design then there is no copyright.

This is false. You can't copy a site's code and just change the design and poof, no copyright infringement.

#35This is pretty cool. Are you worried about copyright at all though? Especially if this get used in a commercial context?
Just don't say you copied anything

The code they created, to implement that component, is an original creative work. Thus protected under copyright.

#37Remember: others' work is theirs unless they license it to you. Just because you technically can copy something doesn't mean you're allowed to make and distribute copies or derivatives. If you do this professionally, you'll get yourself or your employer sued, and/or your work pulled off the internet against your will. You wouldn't steal a policeman's helmet, etc.
> Remember: others' work is theirs unless they license it to you. But Google scraping the web is somehow allowed? I'm not against it but these laws seem arbitrary.
All laws are arbitrary. But the story of how we got them is meaningful.
Copyright exists to encourage more copyable stuff to be made (pg has a good essay on this topic, where he observes history shows the opposite of a copyright regime isn't openness... It's guilds and secrecy cults). What Google does (interpreting the data that scans to help you find references to searches) is considered either transformative work, or recitation of fact. Copyright does not prevent somebody from doing those things because those things make works discoverable, which encourages people to make more stuff.

#38Nice work! Love how simple the landing page is. Does it copy adaptive styles as well?
Re: Show HN: Copy React code from any site
#39This reminds me of the "olden" days where you view source and copy/paste into Dreamweaver. Is this limited to React sites, or any HTML page?
Any page that renders html should work!

It's up to users of the tool to ensure they comply with the law.
Just like you somehow restrain yourself from photographing someone else's picture and then selling it.
