Btw, you should have received a patent number when you submitted for patent pending. Are you going to openly publish it so others can view?

Not only they are going to openly publish the submission, but it will be possible for them to reveal the technology.
What does make you think that they are going to hide it??
Do you know when it will be searchable in the database and by any chance would you happen to have to search number?
And I think the code itself will remain closed source even with patent pending afaik since its proprietary.
