How can I protect the source of my Metro Metro app?

I am very interested in creating applications in the style of Windows 8 Metro. I would like to use HTML5, but I am very concerned about protecting my interface from deconstructing and, ultimately, is frustrated by others. Unfortunately, my service is open source, so I can’t hide things there unless I implement some kind of intermediary between the open source service and my HTML5 application interface.

As the title says, how do I protect the source of my Metro Metro app?

You have two options:

  • Run a JavaScript obfuscator over your code. It will be much harder to figure out, but not impossible.
  • Implement critical functions as C ++ methods. You can easily call them using WinRT with JavaScript. This will greatly complicate the understanding of what is happening.

If you want to keep something (something) secret, DO NOT pass it on to the client.

Maybe there’s some kind of obfuscation that I don’t know about (yet), but you can still restore the code.
