Want to help code the TcNo Account Switcher by adding a new platform? Well, it’s relatively simple. It’s easy to add but does take a relatively large learning curve for people who aren’t programmers. If you want to swap accounts, or swap folders for a program really fast, this is the best way to set something up. If you do end up putting something together, do submit a pull request on GitHub to share it with the rest of the community!
