⚠️ IMPORTANT LOCALHOST LIMITATION:
localhost only works from the same computer running this server. Other Infinity Hub users cannot access http://localhost:3000 from their computers. For live announcements to users outside your network, deploy this server publicly (VPS, Railway, Render, etc.) and update PUBLIC_BASE_URL in .env.
