JSONBin Sync — Live Shared Data
Connect to JSONBin.io so all visitors share the same posts, profiles, events, and businesses in real time.
Setup: go to jsonbin.io → Account → API Keys → copy your Master Key. Leave Bin ID blank on first push — created automatically. Master Key is stored only in your browser and never shared.
Sync status: not configured
Last synced: never

Payload Audit & Image Cleanup
JSONBin free tier limit is 100 KB. Base64 images embedded in posts or profiles inflate the payload significantly. Use the cleanup tool to remove embedded images and reduce payload size.
Backup & Restore
Export all posts, events, businesses, and settings as a JSON file.
