open-design-v0.10.0

🎨 **`405 PRs` · `68 contributors` · `9 days`** — **The all-in-one Agentic design workspace.** 0.9.0 put the AI engine in everyone's hands; 0.10.0 makes Open Design the only window a designer needs open. The whole craft now lives in one place — go from a vague idea to discovering references, gathering raw material, editing interactively, queuing notes, polishing motion and animation, and handing the result off to an editor or a Code Agent for production — **without leaving the app.** And because you can fire comments into a queue, run several sessions at once, and gather assets in parallel, it stops feeling like one assistant and starts feeling like **a whole local design team working for you.** 🚀

## 🔥 Highlights

- 🎨 **The design workspace — one window for the whole craft.** The centerpiece of 0.10.0: a single, sprawling consolidation (211 files, +36k lines) that turns the project view into a real all-in-one studio. A **Lexical-powered composer** makes @mentions atomic pills with caret-anchored mention/slash popovers; **interactive terminals** run a session right beside the chat; **comments carry drag-and-drop image and note attachments**; a **browser-style reference board** with page capture pulls external references straight into a project; and you can **fork a conversation** from any message. Discover, gather, edit, and review without ever switching tools. (#3516) Thanks @pftom.
- 💬 **Comment at the speed of thought — into a queue.** Fire preview comments while a run is still going; they queue, deck markers pin in place, and nothing blocks on the previous turn finishing. (#3314, #3347) Thanks @CtriXin, @zoeforfun.
- 🗂️ **Bring your own models — and gather material in parallel.** A full BYOK pass lands: validate API keys in the field, draft-validate before saving, prefer models fetched live from your account, and track configuration outcomes — across providers, with several sessions pulling assets at once. (#3506, #3484, #3510, #3505, #3564) Thanks @zoeforfun.
- 🧭 **Idea → discovery, with the questions out of your way.** Discovery questions move into a dedicated right-side Questions tab and are skipped entirely for unmodified example prompts, and generation now streams **staged preview feedback** so you watch the design take shape instead of waiting on a black box. (#3355, #3257, #3227) Thanks @elihahah666, @zoeforfun.
- ✏️ **Interactive editing that stays put.** The manual-edit inspector pins instead of flickering on hover, the edit canvas fills the full height, and the composer caret finally lines up with the mention overlay. (#3438, #3398, #3392) Thanks @zoeforfun, @daltonnyx, @portseif.
- 🎞️ **Polish and motion across the product.** Product-wide UI animations replace hard snaps with intentional motion, and the chat surface gets a full visual overhaul with a live-streaming code card. (#3294, #3382) Thanks @elihahah666.
- 🤝 **Hand off to an editor or a Code Agent for production.** A sandbox runtime foundation, run-scoped MCP tool bundles, a project export manifest, and contained project preview URLs lay the groundwork for taking a design out of the studio and into real business production — and the editor hand-off now performs a real reveal instead of a dead end. (#3242, #3244, #3245, #3246, #2494) Thanks @dredozubov, @leessju.
- 🩺 **When a run goes wrong, you can see why.** Identifiable generation-failure causes with contextual recovery, run-failure classification with Langfuse correlation, prompt-stack diagnostics, and safe-retry policy contracts turn mystery failures into something you can actually trace. (#3397, #3412, #3557, #3569) Thanks @zoeforfun, @yinjialu, @Siri-Ray.
- 🧩 **A front door for the team and the community.** The community page splits into a hub plus Contributors / Ambassadors / Moderators, a refreshed homepage hero lands, and a new `/download` page auto-reflects the latest release. (#3491, #3444, #3538) Thanks @leilei926524-tech, @LeonWang-52, @522700967-wq.
- ⚡ **Lighter, faster landing.** Hero decorations route through Image Resizing for ~92% smaller payloads. (#3523) Thanks @lefarcen.
- 🔒 **Security.** Resolved a vulnerable `tmp` transitive dependency. (#3379) Thanks @gateway.
