@tg brilliant, thank you for sharing this.

@kyle it’s by the grace of God that I wasn’t drinking water while reading this 🤣
@xmollv congratulations!

Extremely excited about this: Added the ability to quickly add tap and swipe indicators over your screencaptures!

As someone who's manually built these in AE many times, this is going to be soooo nice

> Will we see a lot of software re-emerging as proprietary?

I don’t think it matters anymore. Coding agents are good enough at reverse engineering (even without tools like Hooper) if you have the binary the app is basically open source to you already.

Claude Code Opus 4.6 took 2.5mins to reverse engineer the reader app for an encrypted file format I reversed years ago and work out the full file format decryption pipeline, that took me days to work out.

All apps are basically open source now.

@axxl aww 🥰

@rudrank you may want to also consider addressing trustworthiness on the landing page and readme. I can only speak for myself, but the risk is by far my top concern. The damage that could be done to my business if my ASC keys leaked is always on my mind.

Perhaps including a guide about how to create keys with limited permissions based on use-cases.

I think these would help improve adoption for more financially established companies.

@rudrank I’ve looked into this myself before, but more clarity around knowing my credentials are safe.

That they are stored properly in keychain, that other processes can’t access them, that they are never leaked in logs and there’s no way to leak them with a sub command, etc
