#2There’s also a nice GUI app called “SD Notary” from a well-respected, long-time Mac app developer (Late Night Software, developer of Script Debugger) https://latenightsw.com/sd-notary-notarizing-made-easy/

#3(The author.) I had originally written a version of this in Python for my own use, and recently thought of rewriting it in Rust as a learning experience.
What I found is that writing a CLI in Rust is a absolute breeze, in part due to excellent documentation and the tooling, and also thanks to various well-maintained crates, such as StructOpt [1] to parse command line arguments of any complexity, or indicatif [2] to show animated progress.

#4Aside: GitHub seems to dislike your animated SVG for some reason, since it won't play unless I open it manually. I think sanitize=true does that; try hosting it somewhere else?

Thanks for the heads up! May I ask what browser you are using? If there are compatibility issues I may just re-render these as GIFs.

Safari. I know that animated SVGs do work on GitHub in the browser; I just don't know why this one doesn't.

Very cool! Tangentially related, I looked into reimplementing `codesign` in Rust while I was at Mozilla. We wanted to see if we could take Apple hardware out of the loop for our release process after we had switched Mac Firefox builds to cross-compile from Linux. I got a bunch of code written and I'm pretty sure I could have made it work if I had gotten the go-ahead to spend time on it but then we heard about notarization and decided it wasn't worth the effort since Apple was going to require us to use their service anyway.

The SVG works fine in jsfiddle, which eventually led me to find https://stackoverflow.com/a/53717429 talking about 'animation' (which your SVG seems to mention, and I don't see a dur= property which GitHub does seem to support.)

Did you link against TBD files?

It also works fine if I try to view it by itself.
