Why, hello there 👋
We're glad to have you here for another CodeSandbox update!
After our big editor changes, September was a significant consolidation and retrospective month.
Keep reading for the highlights!
What's new?
New status page & improved error messages 🚨
We have received lots of feedback about our error messages and we hear you! So, we have introduced a new detailed status page and improved our error messages to display relevant system status details.
Sandpack accessibility improvements to the file tab bar 🙌
Sandpack is now more accessible! This update improves focus management and ensures interactive elements are keyboard accessible and visually highlighted when focused. It also brings adjustments to the tab button structure and keyboard controls for better usability. Huge shoutout to shrilakshmishastry for contributing with this PR!
