## Edit Testimonials

Open `/components/Testimonials.tsx`:

```tsx theme={null}
const testimonials: Testimonial[] = [
  {
    name: "Sarah Chen",
    role: "Founder",
    company: "TechFlow",
    content: "Shipped my SaaS in 3 days instead of 3 months. The authentication and payment integration saved me weeks of work.",
    avatarId: 1, // Number 1-70 for avatar image
  },
  {
    name: "Marcus Rodriguez",
    role: "Solo Developer",
    company: "AppBuilder",
    content: "Best investment I made this year. The UI components alone are worth the price.",
    avatarId: 2,
  },
  // Add more...
]
```

## Change Section Heading

```tsx theme={null}
<h2>Loved by Developers Worldwide</h2>
<p>Join thousands of developers who've shipped faster with shipfast.so</p>
```

***

## Use Real Testimonials

**Getting testimonials:**

1. Ask customers after they succeed with your product
2. Use actual quotes - don't make them up
3. Get permission to use their name/company
4. Keep quotes short (1-2 sentences)

**Bad testimonial:**

> "This is the best product ever! Amazing! 10/10!"

**Good testimonial:**

> "Shipped my SaaS in 3 days instead of 3 months. The authentication integration saved me weeks."

Specific results beat generic praise.

## Custom Avatars

Replace placeholder avatars with real photos:

```tsx theme={null}
<Avatar>
  <AvatarImage 
    src="/testimonials/sarah.jpg" // Your custom image
    alt={testimonial.name}
  />
</Avatar>
```

Add images to `/public/testimonials/`

***

## Remove This Section

If you don't have real testimonials yet, delete it from `/app/(public)/page.tsx`:

```tsx theme={null}
// Delete this line
<Testimonials />
```

Add it back when you collect real customer feedback.
