I used GitHub not just for version control, but to keep my sanity when experimenting with new features. It gave me the confidence to break things and try complex HealthKit integrations knowing I could always roll back to a working version. It’s the safety net that let me move fast as a solo developer without losing my progress.

We use GitHub as the backbone of our development workflow to ensure transparency, code quality, and smooth collaboration across the team. GitHub allows us to manage version control, reviews, and releases in a structured way, which is especially important for a security-sensitive product like a crypto wallet. Pull requests, code reviews, and automated checks help us catch issues early and maintain a high standard as the product evolves.
