[itsNintu]

Onlookers,

In this weeks update: Our projects view got a massive makeover, with a new UI, better previews and more.

Let's dive in.

🚀 What's new

Revamped Projects View

Your project dashboard just got a major glow-up! Finding and managing projects is now lightning-fast with a new grid/masonary layouts, instant search, favorites for your go-to projects, and beautiful visual cards that make everything easier to find.

New Project Creation Options

Jump straight into a blank canvas or import existing work right from the home page. With smart retry logic and clearer loading states, you'll spend less time waiting and more time creating.

Better Screenshot System

Your project previews now update themselves! We've upgraded the screenshot capture to automatically grabs fresh previews when you make changes. Images are compressed and optimized, so everything keeps loading fast without you lifting a finger.

⚡ What we've improved

• Faster Search - Find any project instantly with our reduced search latency
• Smart Image Compression - Automatic optimization keeps your projects loading quickly
• Reliable Project Creation - Automatic retries and better error messages when things go sideways

🐛 What we've fixed

• Upload System - File and folder uploads now work correctly regardless of your current directory
• Project Deletion - Projects delete cleanly without leaving orphaned data behind
• Chat Functionality - Resolved crashes and initialization issues in AI chat
• Terminal Sessions - Better error recovery and proper initialization
• Overflow Scrolling - No more visual glitches from unwanted scrollbars
