API Key Security

It is highly recommended to use a backend like Supabase to hide your API keys. Never leave API keys exposed in the frontend code to prevent unauthorized use of your AI credits.

Perform a Security Review Before Publishing

Always run the 'Review Security' function before clicking the Publish button. The AI will help identify data leaks or code vulnerabilities that you might have overlooked.

Admin Panel Flexibility

You can hide the 'Settings' panel from regular users to turn it into a dedicated Admin Panel for changing AI models or system instructions without needing to modify the source code.
