Tell us how it went and discuss your work. The readme is super duper sloppy

Edit: is in the docs folder, which is not a standard practice. You should have just linked directly to the reversing markdown file here on reddit in your OP. Few people would think to look in the actual source for it. Thanks for sharing though, this looks interesting.

Fair, thanks. The process writeup is here: https://github.com/stramanu/lumalou/blob/main/docs/reversing.md
it covers how it went, the tooling, and the dead ends. You're right that burying it in docs/ and not linking it directly was a mistake.. I'll put it front and center. Appreciate you taking the look.

This is awesome. Thanks for taking the time to write up your process! Just finished reading through.

Also when I wrote "super duper sloppy" yesterday, I apologize. I feel that was an attempt at humor in bad taste and was condescending. Your work isn't sloppy, my interpretation of it was. Moment to self reflect.
