The name make slightly more sense now, improved cookie -> macaroon

Nice read.
Who comes up with these names? I think, they should stay away from sweets :).
No wonder normal people are confused as hell.

Lol tech product names always amaze me, I feel like people just name things after their favourite snack or whatevers laying on their desk

Nice article. Perhaps you'd want to mention what runes are too (those are just like macaroons but without the MAC ;) together with some domain specific "restriction" language) Core Lightning uses runes a lot.
And btw, we've built a go implementation https://github.com/bolt-observer/go-runes

Sweet, I will look into this one and add it to the list, thanks for the recommendation

Thank you ! Just yesterday I was wondering what the macaroons are. And now the first thing I see when I enter SN is this. Is the universe wanting to tell me something? :) I am going slow but steady learning new lightning network things each day.

Lol totally a sign, if there's any terms floating around that you feel we should cover, drop us comment and we will add it to our list, or bump up certain terms, the list is ever growing :)

Great work. Was so confused about macaroons. It’s a LND cookie more or less! Now if I can only learn to access it
