I don’t think I said any of those things?

Crypto happening in the browser (or any browser-based “app”) is not ever going to be ok from a dozen different security perspectives. That makes Node the only possible platform where it makes sense, and that’s what I said.

What dozen perspectives?

Sorry, I interpreted "decompiled or reversed" as insecure. I'm curious why there's a problem if the frontend code can be reversed? Or another way to ask this is, how is that any different from an open source app?
