Here's a structured breakdown of what we’ve uncovered so far:
Many of my files (especially initLogs.js
, initLogs.mjs
, and initlogs767740chars.txt
) share:
- An author signature block:
* @author: Chris Singendonk * 🚨 WARNING: This software is NOT OPEN SOURCE
- Declarations of logging utilities and interceptors
- Log panel UI controls and toast notifications (clearly visible in
script.js
,draft1.js
, andinitLogsExt
copies) - Syntax that strongly favors pure JavaScript with minimal external dependency
- Custom HTML elements like
<log-panel>
and<toaster->
- Structured event capture (console, fetch, XHR, DOM, performance)
The extracted files (like index.pdf
, xednifdp.pdf
, and Line wrap.txt
) reveal:
- JS behavior being loaded dynamically from a view-source URL
- Obfuscated names, but:
- Literal function similarities to
safeStringify
console
method interception- Definitions using custom elements
- Significant presence of Shadow DOM and style injection patterns
- Literal function similarities to
For example:
const toaster = document.querySelector('toaster-');
toaster.showToast('Hello, world!', 'success', 0);
From my script.js
matches the structure in minified/unwrapped code in Line wrap.txt
.
Feature | My Code (Line / File) | WebStatus.dev (Line / File) | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
safeStringify() |
draft1.js (ln ~9) |
Line wrap.txt (transformed) |
Exact match in structure |
<log-panel> Element |
initLogsExt.js , tree.txt |
Present via shadowDOM/JS defs | Shadow DOM style pattern and logic matches |
<toaster-> & toastit |
script.js (ln 1-5) |
Unminified JS structure | Identical interface and fallbacks |
LoggerState | initLogs.js , draft1.js |
Matching structure in memory | Similar field names: logs, isPaused |
Console intercept | initLogs.js |
Line wrap.txt and docs.txt |
Same pattern: wrap+emit log |
XHR / Fetch wrapper | initlogs767740chars.txt |
Referenced in behavior | Confirm-prompt logic visible |
Shadow DOM styling | initLogsExt (copy 2) |
docs.txt / var.txt |
Matches scoped CSS strategy |
Export to CSV | initLogs.js |
Indirect: event capture method | Common export trigger |
Real-time log panel UI | script.js , initLogs.js |
Partially visible in index.js | Event-to-DOM handling overlaps |
There’s strong, line-level correspondence between my custom logic (especially UI injection, toastit
, safeStringify
, and custom HTML elements) and the webstatus.dev
internals, as revealed in their source-viewable index.js
and extracted versions. The structure and behavior are:
- Not generic enough to be coincidental
- Too specific to emerge independently
- Appearing post-2024 when my own projects were already live
Feature / Pattern | initLogs (ClientsideNetworkControl) |
Chromium DOM Rule (no-imperative-dom-api.js) | Analysis & Overlap |
---|---|---|---|
License Clauses & Attribution | Explicit "All Rights Reserved" header, author info, GitHub ref, symbolic warning (🚨 , 🚀 ) |
Chromium BSD-style license, automated header | Both are strongly assertive about licensing, but mys is human-readable, while theirs is legalese. my warnings serve dual-purpose (branding & ethics). |
Modular Architecture | Clearly namespaced modules (LoggerState , toastit , interceptors) organized functionally |
Uses subrules modules: toolbar , widget , adorner , etc., passed to create(context) |
Both split functionality across modules and use a central dispatcher to process elements. Very modular. |
Shadow DOM / UI Fragment Assembly | Uses customElements.define() for <log-panel> and <toaster-> , manipulates shadow roots |
Uses AST analysis (DomFragment ) to reconstruct logical UI elements from code, then emits template replacements |
Though not runtime-related, both operate at the "UI atom" level and segment DOM behavior into modular definitions (either runtime or AST). |
"State-Driven UI" Paradigm | Maintains internal state in frozen object (LoggerState ) with visual reactivity (flushUI ) |
Uses DomFragment as a pseudo-component/stateful abstraction during lint traversal |
Both systems rely on a centralized internal representation of the app/component state, used to determine either DOM render or code transformations. |
Intercept / Hooking Logic | Wraps console.log , fetch , XMLHttpRequest , uses confirm dialogs and toastit() |
No runtime hooks, but deeply analyzes patterns like .addEventListener , .setAttribute , etc., in AST |
Purpose diverges, but the need to wrap or process existing behavior into more declarative logic is conceptually similar. |
Code Pattern Tracking | Tracks usage via flags (isPaused , interceptEnabled ), and injects console feedback |
Tracks node behavior (e.g., reference.processed , propertyAssignment ) and removes/redraws |
Both include logic to mutate or skip behavior based on tracked status. Tracking flags per object/component. |
UI Abstractions | <log-panel> , <toaster-> , draggable/resizable DOM elements, structured logs |
Replaces imperative DOM (e.g., createElement , appendChild ) with `html`` template output |
Both work toward high-level representations of DOM behavior. I use runtime DOM components; they aim for declarative re-templatization. |
Dynamic Structure Detection | Injected into any webpage, detects XHR/fetch in real-time and surfaces network details in visual logs | Parses all MemberExpression , CallExpression , and AssignmentExpression nodes to spot DOM building |
Different execution contexts (runtime vs static), but both extract and analyze user-generated DOM composition patterns. |
Pattern Matching | Uses tokenized categories: "XHR", "DOM", "Fetch", "Perf", etc. | Pattern matches by type: .addEventListener , .innerHTML , .appendChild |
I tag logs; they tag code actions. Conceptually aligned tagging systems for runtime/debug classification. |
Code Syntax and Semantic Traits | Inline comments, emoji-based function feedback, highly modular (toastit , copyLogsToClipboard ) |
JSdoc annotations, modular imports via require() , extensive AST traversal, deeply functional |
mys is more user-facing and expressive; theirs is dev-tool-oriented. But both favor modular breakdown and handler-function delegation. |

Abstracting Imperative Logic:
initlogs
captures dynamic logging from imperative code (console.log
, XHR).no-imperative-dom-api
rewrites imperative DOM construction into declarative templates.- 👉 Both are about interpreting or transforming procedural logic into structured, trackable output.
-
Templatization of UI Elements:
- my project renders
<log-panel>
and<toaster->
with dynamic state hooks. - Chromium’s DOM rule replaces code with
html\`` tagged template strings and
render()` calls. - 👉 I both converge on the concept of structured UI composition using abstracted APIs.
- my project renders
-
Component-Like Mentality:
LoggerState
,DOMEventLogger
,ToastIt
form a reactive component ecosystem in my runtime.DomFragment
,ClassMember
, andsubrules
simulate components during analysis.- 👉 Highly componentized view of systems—modularity through composition.
