This was a small pass, but it fixed one of those moments that can make a product feel less owned.
Some sign-in actions were sending people into a Clerk-hosted experience instead of keeping them inside the branded Wags flow. That is technically fine, but emotionally it feels like the product drops you at the exact moment you are trying to save, contact, or continue.
I made the auth surfaces behave more consistently as in-product modals, with the same styling regardless of where sign-in starts.
I also cleaned up the footer. A duplicate browse link came out, the explore link got a clearer label, and adoption got a direct path. Small navigation details, but they help the product say what each area is for.
The goal was continuity. If someone hits an auth gate, the experience should still feel like Wags is holding the thread.
