Shipped
v0.30.0A real token editor, right in the canvas2026-06-12
- The Inspector's CSS tab grew into a Figma-style design-token editor. Numeric fields carry a property glyph and scrub left/right to change; spacing fields take Webflow-style modifiers. Any value can bind to a design-system Variable through a searchable popover that shows where the token is defined — and it resolves the right system in multi-DS projects. One unified colour picker now drives every colour field, fill and border alike, with Custom and Variables tabs. Values you've set stand out while untouched rows recede, so the diff is scannable at a glance.
v0.30.0Edit the canvas directly — text & layers2026-06-12
- Double-click any text to retype it in place — the new copy is written straight back to the source, no AI round-trip. The Layers tab is a browsable tree with type icons: click a layer to select it in the canvas, hover to highlight, and toggle any layer's visibility from its row. Together with the CSS token editor, small tweaks no longer need a command.
v0.30.0Studio chrome, polished end to end2026-06-12
- The whole browser feels hand-finished now. Drag the file and inspector panels to resize them (or nudge with the arrow keys — your widths are remembered), watch a calm skeleton while a canvas compiles, and press ? for a full keyboard-shortcuts cheat sheet. Collaborator cursors and Claude's own cursor now match the design system, annotations snap to the dot grid as you drag, and focus rings, tooltips and scrollbars are consistent throughout. The View menu's Layers and Zoom are wired up, and a shortcut clash is gone — the inspector is ⌘⇧I, so I stays free for the canvas highlighter.
v0.30.0Hub sync that can't eat your work2026-06-12
- Boot two machines or checkouts linked to the same hub in any order — your local canvas work is safe. When both sides changed the same canvas, Maude keeps a copy of each, takes the newer one, and tells you exactly how to bring back the other; a clean catch-up just updates quietly. The sync status is honest now too: you can see which canvases are synced, pending, or rejected, and why.
v0.30.0Annotations grew up: diagram on the canvas2026-06-12
- Marquee-select strokes and just drag them, group with ⌘G, copy/paste, align and reorder. Shapes rotate (hover near a corner), resize from edges with size-matching guides, hold text (double-click any shape), and switch kind — square, circle, diamond, triangle — right from the toolbar. Arrows snap to shapes and re-route as you move things, and the new Section tool (⇧S) frames a region that moves with its content. AI tools can read the board and draw on it too.
v0.29.0The studio is fully wired now2026-06-08
- Everything in the chrome is live: the top bar shows the real zoom + artboard count, the status bar always shows hub-sync, and your avatar (plus Claude when it's editing) appears in the menubar. The ⌘K palette grew real Canvas/Tools commands (New canvas, Export, Handoff, Draw), there's a proper Export & handoff dialog (PNG/PDF/SVG/HTML/shadcn/ZIP) right in the shell, and a new display-only Inspector panel (Inspect · Layers · CSS) reads any element you ⌘-click.
v0.29.0Animate draw marks → ship one Lottie2026-06-08
- /design:draw now handles motion briefs (morph, pulse, blink) and proves the animation is actually live. /design:to-lottie productionizes it into one Lottie that plays 1:1 on web and React Native.
v0.29.0The studio, redesigned in maude2026-06-08
- The canvas browser chrome is now built in the maude design system itself — a dark-first studio shell with a branded menubar + real dropdowns, a collapsible file-tree sidebar with a rail, a cohesive bottom context bar, a maude-styled comments panel, and a clean light handoff. New: a ⌘K command palette for jumping to the design-system view, comments, theme, reload, and help. The in-canvas chrome (tools, minimap, selection halos) was re-skinned to the same indigo accent so the whole surface reads as one product.
v0.29.0Richer annotations — highlighter, lists & text shortcuts2026-06-08
- Annotations got a full polish pass: a new highlighter tool (translucent marker with multiply blend), dashed strokes on shapes, FigJam-style sticky corner, multi-line text with Enter, italic/underline/lists, and Cmd+B/I/U formatting shortcuts that work the same way in sticky notes, shapes, and the text tool.
v0.29.0Drop images & paste links onto the canvas2026-06-08
- Drag a screenshot from your desktop — or paste a clipboard image or a URL — straight onto the canvas. Images sit alongside your annotations; links render as a tidy preview chip you can open in one click.
v0.29.0What's New, right in the canvas browser2026-06-08
- The Maude UI now tells you what shipped — a dismissible notice plus a panel you can reopen from the menubar. Each closed-out feature adds an entry automatically.
v0.28.1Create & delete canvases from the browser2026-06-03
- Spin up a blank brief-board straight from the file tree (+ board) and remove canvases without leaving the UI — no /design:new round-trip needed.
v0.28.0Live canvas activity overlay2026-06-02
- See at a glance which artboard Claude (or a teammate) is editing — a soft rim + badge highlights the active canvas and fades when work settles.
v0.28.0Draw production SVGs as code2026-05-30
- /design:draw generates logos, icons, and diagrams through a deterministic geometry engine — no hand-guessed path data — and proofs them across the 16/24/48/256 verify ladder.
v0.27.0Self-hostable hub + live file sync2026-05-28
- Run your own Maude hub and co-edit canvases with bidirectional file sync, offline-aware status, and conflict handling.
