    Role switching! You are your own engineering/sales/customer service/marketing department! At least for the first few iterations of the product, as a maker, it's so critical to switch roles on a daily basis.

    This might not be something that everyone thinks is necessarily "easy" but the App Store Review has been giving us some hoops to jump through 😂
