Inside the Box: September Community Update

Hi there 👋

We are back with a fresh "Inside the Box" issue to keep you updated with the CodeSandbox highlights from last month.

Let's dive right in!

Latest Product News

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!

Tons of improvements and bug fixes 🐞 — After our big editor changes, September was a significant consolidation and retrospective month. We shipped dozens of UX improvements and bug fixes that resulted in better stability and performance across the board.

Napkins & Sandpack 🤝 — Once again, we were thrilled to see Sandpack in action in napkins.dev, a tool that uses AI to transform a wireframe into a fully working app. Kudos to @nutlope for bringing these open-source tools to the community!
