First time handing over the keys to Vatly to someone outside the team.

Vatly held up. We squashed a few bugs. Got amazing feedback. Seeing it come to life at the Mollie x Lovable hackathon? Incredible.

Wild part: Robin vibe-coded the entire integration by pointing his AI at the Vatly docs. Didn't even use the SDK I prepared.
