so if API is published, there is nothing to reverse engineer. and if API is not published, and you MITM with self-compromised CAs, and then use it (commercially?) you ~100% breaking ToS. this is just un-ethical. or YC does not have regard anymore for such things? | ||

Noticed you have two comments here. I think my response to your other comment best answers this (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47798259). Definitely open to discussing this more here. Not sure if I agree on the self-compromised CA bit. MITM proxies have been used for 20+ years for debugging. In fact, I use Kampala to debug our personal APIs/web app all of the time. | ||

Some people may believe in equal measure that intentionally trying to break interoperability is unethical. Especially if it's my data. | ||

> this is just un-ethical. There is nothing unethical about this. You can technically do this with a browser and its dev tools. You being here is far more unethical than this app. | ||
