SEO (config/seo.php)
Used for document titles, meta description, keywords, Open Graph defaults, theme color (#16a34a), and per-tool titles/descriptions (print-studio, business-card, … keyed internally as t0–t11).
To change public tool meta, edit config/seo.php (or overlay via your own config) and clear config cache.
Demo flag
.env.example sets APP_DEMO=true. For a customer install set:
APP_DEMO=false
APP_DEBUG=false
APP_ENV=production
Storage
php artisan storage:link
Uploads and generated files may live under public/files, public/images/card, public/id/*.vcf, link-in-bio image paths. Those directories are gitignored for user content.
Subdirectory installs
The app expects to live at the domain root (or a vhost whose document root is public/). Installing in https://example.com/profilesuite/ needs extra rewrite and APP_URL care; prefer a subdomain (https://cards.example.com).
