Welcome to the first update. The studio is evolving quickly, and I want to keep a clear log of how the tools are being sharpened. This week was about cleaning up the "seams" of the site, making sure the doors open where they should and the workspace stays exactly how you left it.
Navigation & Access
A Reliable Entry: I fixed an issue where the sign-in process was getting caught in a loop. If you're signed in, you'll now land directly in the designer exactly as expected.
The Splash Page: The homepage is now a clean "guest entrance" for new makers, while regulars are routed straight to their work.
The Craft Room
Account Clarity: I've updated the "Craft Room" to be a more helpful space. It no longer asks you to sign in if you're already there; instead, it gives you a clear look at your storage and pro features.
Instant Help: The "Help" button in the Craft Room now actually works. It will drop you back into the designer and automatically open the help guide so you don't have to go looking for it.
Workspace Improvements
Persistent Fabric Strips: One of the most annoying bugs was the fabric swatch bar popping back up every time you refreshed the page, even if you had closed it. I've added "memory" to that bar: if you dismiss it, it stays gone until you explicitly ask to see a new palette or upload a fabric.
Clean Slate: I cleared out some "stale" code that was causing occasional loading errors. The studio should feel snappier and more stable.
