Protection for intellectual property

LEAP and especially Domino Leap is an interesting platform for developers with a Notes/Domino background, however, its not NoCode...not at all. However, if one wants to have just a little bit more than just a form with a few fields (like retrieving information from different system using REST, signing documents using a legally valid certificate,...) certain skills are required.

Right now, there is no way to kind of protect the investment I've made in building skills and developing a solution. If we are supposed to share slightly more sophisticated solutions we built with LEAP, there must be a way to protect this investment.

    IMO there are several tiers in this requirement:

    1. optionally password protect an app to prevent unauthorized edits, reverse engeneering or exports (from web)

    2. potection of application.xml in builder (from Notes)

    3. protection of design in deployed NSF files (?)

    At least the second item requires encryption of the application code.

    "In other words, you want to be able to hide the design like you can do in Notes apps?"
    yep, that would be - at least to me - the perfect solution

    It would seem this exceeds the function of the design settings (Access) within the app; you want to password protect the app from being opened and subsequently viewed and edited in the manager by an Administrator?

    The number of votes gleanerd thus far is an indication you're on to something.

    To me, its not just the JavaScript code, its the entire app. OK, the UI is easy....even I could build some form with various fields. However, once the form is done, the real intellectual work starts. Which features, services, checks,.... would I like to see in my app and how do I implement them ?

    To achieve my goal I need a proper understanding of how - for instance - a REST service works, how services are to be implemented in Leap and how to utilize them within my app.

    Its the know how and skills one has to have in order to develop an app with certain capabilities that I would like to be able to protect.

    For clarity. could you please elaborate a little. Are you refering to self-programmed JavaScript?
