I’m thrilled to share some exciting progress—earlier this week, I successfully figured out how to bypass the Echelon lockout!

There are still a few steps I need to take before I can share full details and make it publicly available but I’m really looking forward to sharing more soon.

I’m also hoping to have more to say on this in the coming weeks 👀

Although not strictly named, I am referenced in this article. I hope that Echelon reverses course and undoes this update.

xattr -w 'com.apple.icon.folder#S' '{"sym":"camera.viewfinder"}' some/folder/here

It also works with private symbol names!

@pointfreeco do you have material on an authenticated user? Having an optional User for an app that requires login is very typical but leads to so many problems. I’d love to see your take on it.

The “What’s new in Wallet” video has this onLoad modifier that I’ve never seen and I can’t find it in the documentation at all. Has anybody come across before?
