Just to clarify something at the start of the article... If you are using full Visual Studio to develop with .NET 6, you will need 2022. If not, (eg. VS Code), will work with the command line sdk.

Pretty sure there isn't anything you can't do in Jetbrains Rider EAP.

Edit: would like to know why I'm being downvoted.

Hot reload in Rider only works in debug mode on Windows (to be clear it also works in nondebug sessions on Windows). On Mac trying to use Hot Reload with Rider on a nondebug session errors out, so it’s not 100% yet.

I don't know why I expected something more technical for the tray icon part. I mean using a third party library is not really anything .NET 6 specific.

Seems to me, the focus of the article was more on named pipes than the tray icon, so maybe that's why?
