Our latest update is here to make your bingo card creation experience even smoother and more intuitive. We've implemented several improvements based on your feedback, making it faster to start from templates, easier to customize your settings, and more user-friendly navigation. Dive into the details below!

Improvements:

• Start modal when accessing /generator/: Quickly start from a template, style, or one of your own cards, speeding up card creation.
