For a customer's high school project, I have created a static but relatively complex website using HTML and Javascript only. Now, before customer pays me, he wants to have a look at the website. Therefore, he requested me to host it temporarily on AWS S3. But I am afraid that he will click on view source and download all the code, and might not pay me afterward.
Is there a way to hide my code in the above scenario, except using team viewer, where the customer accesses my personal computer.
This is not possible.
The best you can do is send some screenshots, but of course this isn't very interactive, nor a good way to evaluate a website.
Luckily, I found a way to achieve this. The following code can be used:
<head>
<script>function myFunction()
{
var g1 = new Date(); //Today
var g2 = new Date('2020-10-06'); //The date from which trial version should stop working
if (g1 > g2)
{
alert("Trial Period Expired");
}
else
{
//-------------Normal code goes here-------
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="myFunction()">
</body>
Now, just encrypt the code using some free online tools so that the Date can't be altered by the user.
