Affinity Plugin Loader

A managed code plugin loader & injector hook for Affinity by Canva (Affinity v3).

APL gives you a simple method to load custom code into Affinity and perform custom patches at runtime using the Harmony library. No more patching DLL files on disk.

APL supports Windows and Linux (Wine). MacOS support is not planned at this time.
