💡 After creating your project, a Getting Started Checklist appears on the dashboard to guide you through each step.

Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) anywhere in the dashboard to open the command palette for quick navigation.

• Never expose your API key in client-side code — always use environment variables
• Email verification is required before you can sign in
• Set expiration dates on API keys and rotate them regularly
• Login is rate-limited to prevent brute-force attacks (5 attempts per 60 seconds)

Create a project, copy an API key, and issue a credit from your server.
