End-of-an-era size update

This may not seem important to many of you, but it is one of the most significant updates in the (short) history of the Lovely Dashboard and Lovely Sim Racing. As a passion project, we have always strived to find the best solutions to make your (and our) lives easier. In this pursuit, we turned to Discord as a means of both managing memberships and distributing access to the product. Although this worked, it came with plenty of drawbacks—such as limited access to Discord in various countries and a dependency on Discord's uptime to offer our services.

In July, we said goodbye to our long-standing partner Ko-fi, and today we bid farewell to our memberships-via-Discord dependency.

BUT WAIT: We're not getting rid of Discord at all—we're just no longer relying on it for managing memberships. So please go ahead and join us on one of the largest Sim Racing communities on Discord, the Lovely Discord Server

This release is also adorned with new dashboards, updates, and features across the entire lineup.
