#3 Q1 updates recap: all the pretty features

Today, we're going to recap all the features we implemented in the first quarter of 2024. It's a surprisingly long list of brilliant updates that many of you have requested. And it's a big pleasure for me to reflex on how much we have achieved in such a short period of time.

I can't even choose which one is more important bc they all looks so cool 😎
