That is a good way to get sued for breach of contract. Have you ever read the contract you had to click agree to in order to get access to the internal dashboard? Most likely you agreed to not do what this product does.

It is also a very easy win for a company to just focus on the one stolen element or component in a lawsuit to knock competition out of the space and has happened multiple times.

In large corps you usually have separate teams for the UX design to the frontend devs and the people specifying the features.

In such a scenario the UX designer can utilize such a bookmarklet to get a quick copy of the existing dashboard into figma to then iterate on the UX and try out different approaches for that specified feature.

This scenario would not be in violation of any terms and it's unclear what noobplus was actually thinking of
