From now on, all Unit websites will have source maps enabled. This will make debugging and reporting easier, and also serve as learning playground for Open Source Unit enthusiasts.

It illustrates how everything in the system is built from inputs and outputs, shown through evolving molecular-like structures representing data and operations.
