Thirteen live workspaces on the site, and Studio gets a gallery

Thirteen businesses, running live on the site

Every page that used to describe SharpOS now runs it.

The homepage and the feature pages carry a working workspace. Click into it. Open a board, drag a card between columns, write in a page, change a brand colour. There is no film of the product any more because there is no longer a reason to shoot one.

The thirteen businesses in it are the concept builds on sharphaw.com/cases. A sushi counter, a clinic, a wine importer, a law firm, a gym, a hotel, seven others. Each is set up the way that business actually runs, down to its prices and its house rules and its palette. Open one on its own at /showcase/sumi and it fills the screen.

Almost every surface is in there, and each opens all the way down instead of stopping at a list. A form opens in its builder with its fields and its submissions. A support conversation opens with the thread on it. An audit opens its workspace with the findings. A workflow opens on the canvas with its trigger and its steps sitting there as real nodes.

Boards, Pages, Customers and Brand Kit take edits. Full screen, whatever you change stays on that device until you press Reset demo. Nothing typed into it ever leaves the tab, and none of it is anyone's real data.

Send someone the business closest to theirs and let them poke at it.

Studio opens on a gallery, and layers move in bulk

Studio used to open on your root projects, with a separate stacked section underneath for every folder you had made. Folders come first now. Each one shows a mosaic of what is inside it and how many projects that is, then your root projects follow, then the folder you click gets a page of its own.

Folders and projects finally share a shape: a square preview that never crops your artwork, a title, one line of detail. Search sits beside an All / Projects / Folders switch. Searching for a project finds it wherever it is filed rather than only in the folder you happen to be standing in.

The layers list works the way a layers list should. Shift-click or Cmd-click to take several, drag them together, and one undo puts all of them back where they were. Right-click any layer for the rest of it: group, ungroup, move out of a group, bring forward, send backward, duplicate, rename, lock, hide, delete. A group you close stays closed while you carry on editing.

Frames stopped fighting you when you reorder them. Drop one where you want it and it stays, instead of springing back and jumping again a second later. Both lists carry Move up and Move down as well, so you never have to land a drag at all.

New sizes came along with it: TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, print, and a publishing set covering Medium, dev.to, Hashnode, Substack, Reddit and a plain blog post.

Side panels finally agree with each other

Support, Automations and Studio each grew their own side panels, and no two of them worked alike. One remembered the width you dragged it to and one forgot it on reload. One collapsed by a keyboard shortcut that nothing on screen mentioned, one had a close button, two could not be collapsed at all. In the dark theme they were three different greys.

There is one panel now. Drag the edge anywhere you find it, collapse it from a control you can see, and it comes back the width you left it. Learn it once.

Your page title fits on a phone again

Every hub page reads the same way on a phone: the menu, the title, and one button holding everything that page can do. Brand Kit was spending two thirds of the screen on buttons and rendering its own name as "Br…". It says Brand Kit now.

Nothing was taken away to get there. The actions moved into the menu, where they are written out instead of guessed at from a glyph, and two that a phone could never reach at all came back with them. The Live and Paused switch in the Forms and Spotlight builders is one of those, so a published form can be paused from wherever you happen to be.

Titles also stopped vanishing on middling screens. A half-width desktop window, an iPad in split view and most Android tablets were getting a header with nothing in it.

Tuning the support assistant makes sense now

The Config tab had grown into seven cards sitting in whatever order the settings were stored in. The most technical one led. The wording you actually tune was split across three separate boxes further down.

It is the Assistant tab now, and it has five sections, ordered by how often you touch them. Persona, Answering, Fallback, Variables, Engine.

Answering holds one band instead of two loose numbers. Answer above here, take a contact below there, and the gap between them is on screen rather than something you work out from two percentages.

Beside it sits the message a visitor really receives when the assistant gives up, with your variables filled in and your contact channels on the end. Nothing on that page used to show you that. Editing behaves like the Widget tab next door too: Save wakes up when something changes, Discard puts it back, and walking away from unsaved work warns you first.

Assistants can work with a full board

Point an assistant at your organization, ask it about a busy board, and the answer used to come back too big for it to hold. It failed on your largest boards, which are usually the ones worth asking about.

A board now arrives in a slice an assistant can work with, and it is told how to ask for the rest. Reading a single card's full content is unchanged, and anything you have built on the API keeps getting exactly what it got before.
