Clearing Browser Data (Desktop)
If Indiebase is behaving oddly, it can be because of stale data stored in the browser, especially if you haven't used it
for a while and if we've been making updates. It's always worth trying to clear out browser data.

- One‑key shortcuts:
- Chrome (macOS): ⌘ + ⇧ + ⌫
- Chrome / Edge (Windows): Ctrl + Shift + Delete
- Safari (cache only, Develop menu): ⌥ + ⌘ + E
- Stubborn issues: Wiping cached images often fixes layout glitches; deleting cookies logs you out and can resolve
sign‑in loops.
