Read detailsJune 2026
PDFs, smarter AI context, Notion AI export, and fixes
A batch covering auth, files, the AI assistant, Notion, the docs site, and a couple of database-advisor cleanups.
Read detailsFlatter UI, mobile fixes, and an auth code fix
Flat design pass — removed decorative box-shadows from buttons, cards,
Read detailsDiagramming: shapes, smart connectors, and a draw layer
ClipSpaces can now build diagrams — flow charts, data pipelines, and software architecture — natively on the React Flow canvas. Three additions, all persisted and (shapes) cloud-synced like existing…
Read detailsDocs site: How-to, Releases, and Privacy pages
Added a developer-docs-style section to the app — sidebar nav, sticky header, on-this-page table of contents, and a shared prose style — reachable from the account popover and the canvas help popover.
Read detailsPaperclip icon is now the primary logo
The abstract four-square brand mark is replaced everywhere by the paperclip in app/icon.png (which is also the favicon), so there's one logo source.
Read detailsSign-in gate uses the TopBar popover (one sign-in surface)
The AI + Integrations auth wall no longer pops its own centered modal. Gated actions now drop the same sign-in popover the TopBar "Sign in" pill opens, so there's a single sign-in surface across the…
Read detailsOnboarding empty state for blank boards
A new user landing on an empty space saw a blank canvas with no cue about what the app does. Empty boards now show an onboarding overlay (Excalidraw-style): a centered ClipSpaces logo + one-line…
Read detailsAuth wall for AI + Integrations (sign-in required)
AI and Integrations are now members-only. The entry points stay visible, but a signed-out click opens a contextual sign-in prompt and then proceeds to the requested feature. (Groundwork for paid…
Read detailsAI composer redesign + in-chat model switcher
The Ask AI composer was restyled to match the reference chat aesthetic and now lets you switch models inline, without opening AI settings.
Read detailsTop-bar controls get a surface backdrop
The right-side controls cluster (timer, integrations, theme, notifications, account, Share) sat on the transparent top bar and became unreadable when canvas cards scrolled underneath. It's now…
Read detailsSwitch the primary UI font to Inter
The app-wide UI font is now Inter (was Host Grotesk). Loaded via the existing --font-outfit variable, so all body text, Tailwind sans/display/body tokens, and inline references pick it up with no…
Read detailsPresence chip only when others are present
The top-bar presence cluster (avatar stack + "X online" + divider) no longer shows the lonely "just you" state. It appears only once another person joins the space, so a solo session has a cleaner…
Read detailsSession timer: pick a duration
The top-bar focus timer was hard-coded to 3:00. It now has a caret menu to choose a length in 10-minute steps up to an hour (10/20/30/40/50/60 min); the default is 10:00. Picking a duration stops the…
Read detailsFix: connectors honor the side you drag from
Side connectors (left/right/bottom) snapped to the top of the target card instead of attaching where you dragged. onConnect was discarding the sourceHandle/targetHandle from the connection, so React…
Read detailsEmail auth: 6-digit code instead of magic link
Passwordless sign-in now emails a 6-digit code the user types in, replacing the clickable magic link.
Read detailsBring-your-own-AI: multi-provider, multi-model
The AI assistant is no longer hardwired to one server-held OpenRouter key. Users can supply their own provider + model + key (billed to them), and self-hosters can write a server-wide config from the…
Read detailsFix same-network discovery under IPv6
Two devices on the same WiFi could fail to discover each other on Vercel because /api/network grouped peers by their full public IP. That holds for IPv4 + NAT (one shared address per LAN) but breaks…
Read detailsLive shared boards over WebRTC (replaces the item tray)
The same-network WebRTC feature now shares a live board, not a clipboard of items. When a signed-out peer accepts your invite, you co-edit your board together in real time until the session ends.

Signed-out realtime is now peer-to-peer over WebRTC, not WebSockets. Since

Navbar floats over the canvas (app/page.tsx). The TopBar was a flex row
Read detailsFix: stale AI briefing + lost connections + missing scan
Two bugs from the persist-chat-history change: the briefing was resumed from the DB on every reopen, so it never reflected new cards/connections and the scan never replayed. Separately, connections…
Read detailsMap cards (free, no key — MapLibre/OSM + optional Google)
Added a map card kind. It works with no API key: MapLibre GL + OpenStreetMap tiles, geocoded via OSM Nominatim. If a Google key is configured it transparently upgrades new cards to the Google Maps…
Read detailsAI cost controls (fix OpenRouter 402)
OpenRouter reserves the full max_tokens against your balance up front, so the 700-token briefing 402'd on a low/free balance. Cut AI usage across the board.
Read detailsPersistent AI chat history + token efficiency
The AI chat lived only in React state — closing the panel or refreshing lost it, every open re-ran the briefing, and every turn resent the full persona + board context uncached. Now the conversation…
Read detailsAI space-scan animation
Replaced the tiny "Scanning your space…" dots indicator with a full-screen particle scan that sweeps through the canvas's own dot grid whenever Ask AI is opened and the space is being briefed — as if…
Read detailsAI context enrichment (scrape + vision + Notion)
Responses were thin because each card carried almost nothing — a link was a title + OG blurb, an image was just dimensions. Added a server-side enrichment layer that expands cards with the content…
Read detailsAI space assistant (OpenRouter)
Reworked the AI panel from a one-shot "ask + apply actions" tool into a space assistant: it scans the current space, briefs you on it, then answers questions.
Read detailsNotion page cards, inline preview, right-click actions
Reworked the Notion UX around live page cards instead of burying actions in the Integrations panel.
Read detailsRe-skin to Notion's warm monochrome palette
Palette moved off coral to Notion's restrained brand: warm near-black ink
Read detailsTwo-way Notion integration (import + export)
Turned the connected-but-inert Notion link into working features. Both directions go through a shared page picker (/v1/search).
