HOW TO STEAL ANY REACT COMPONENT

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

It's possible to "steal" or reconstruct any React component from a production website, even without access to its source code. React Fiber is an internal tree structure in the browser that exposes which components create specific DOM elements and what props they receive. You can generate a component's code by collecting multiple examples of a component's props and its resulting HTML and feeding it into an LLM.
