I wanted to add a more personal touch to the About page of GarageExit and talk about who's behind the project, a.k.a me, but also have some fun in the process, so I've created this keychain figurine. That helmet looks ready to hit anything on the road 😅

The domain and social media handle availability check works quite well so i've decided to offer that as a free service. I'm planning on doing that more often, re-using some implemented logic from the main app to offer more free goodies.

This past week i've been working on improving a lot of backend stuff for GarageExit, simplifying steps, cleaning up code structure, and also improving auth flows, email flows, all the important but not so fun part, at least not for me. But I also made some time to update some visual details and I could spent HOURS on these tiny stupid details 🙈 That's why I have a self imposed rule of not playing with the visual part unless I have at least 5x times more actual app functionality done before twea
