Shipped

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.
next releaseAnnotations grew up: diagram on the canvasunreleased
  • 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.

Next — planned

10Phase 10 (v1.2 work): Structured CRDT HTML co-editingv1.2 conditional
  • Build on Phase 8's "ambient multiplayer" (Yjs awareness + comments) to add true real-time HTML co-editing for designated edit surfaces. Two peers can change a button's padding simultaneously throug...
12Phase 12: In-canvas CSS editor + Layers panelv1.3+ conditional
  • Add Figma / Webflow-grade direct manipulation: a layers panel (DOM tree of active artboard — collapsible, selectable, drag-to-reorder) and an in-canvas CSS editor (right sidebar that surfaces top-e...
26Phase 26 — Native Maude: Tauri shell + sidecar lifecycleplanned
  • Validate docs and codebase patterns before implementing. Pay attention to the binary-resolution path (DDR-009/084), real-disk paths (DDR-045), canvas-origin split (DDR-063), and the canvas-origin g...
27Phase 27 — Native Maude: In-UI git layerplanned
  • Validate docs and codebase patterns before implementing. Pay attention to canvas-create.ts security pattern, canvas-origin-gate.test.ts, DDR-045 disk paths, and the vocabulary map (Save version / P...
28Phase 28 — Native Maude: GitHub identity & remoteplanned
  • Validate docs and codebase patterns before implementing. Pay attention to the OAuth token never landing in _server.json or .design/, DDR-045 disk paths, and the canvas-create.ts security pattern fo...
29Phase 29 — Native Maude: Onboarding wizard + repo/branch switcherplanned
  • Validate docs and codebase patterns before implementing. Aspiration bar applies — this is the first-impression surface; /design:new with --perfect is mandatory before Task 2.
30Phase 30 — Native Maude: Live multiplayer + artboard locking + hub realignmentplanned
  • Validate docs and codebase patterns before implementing. Read DDR-054, DDR-064, DDR-063 and the 3-lane collab model in collab-model-design.md before touching any sync/collab code. The no-break exha...
32Phase 32 — Native Maude: Distribution, auto-update & maintenanceplanned
  • Validate docs and codebase patterns before implementing. MAUDE_SKIP_RUNTIME_BUILD=1 discipline is load-bearing throughout this phase — never let a CI step regenerate the committed runtime bundles.
