Hey 👋

A new release was shipped with two sweet improvements to the Console.

🌐 Custom Domains New API​

The hosting features for registering or administrating custom domains have been migrated to the API from the DFINITY Boundary Nodes team.

This migration makes managing domains:

• More reliable
• Significantly faster
• Future-proof

Massive kudos to the team delivering this capability - awesome work 💪

🚀 Registering custom domains for your hosting just got a major upgrade!

The new API is more reliable, faster, and future-proof.

✨ UI Improvements​

Alongside the domain upgrade, we shipped a few visual refinements:

Stronger contrast on cards and buttons for a cleaner, more readable interface (amazing what you can achieve by nudging brightness 😄)

The Launchpad has been slightly redesigned: "Create a new satellite" is now a primary button, bringing more clarity and guidance.

I tagged a new release as I deployed a new version of the Console UI to mainnet.

Aside from the updated navigation, which now displays the page title within breadcrumb-style navigation, and a few minor fixes, not much has changed feature-wise.

The biggest change in the frontend's codebase, which explains why so many files were touched, is a refactor to adopt the new pattern I’ve been using for DID declarations.

Instead of relying on auto-imported separate types, I now prefer grouping factories in a single module, exporting them from there, and importing the types through a suffixed module DID alias.

You can check out the pattern in Juno's frontend codebase or in the ic-client JS library. If you're curious about it, let me know.

It’s a small structural shift that makes the code much cleaner and more readable.

Finally, there are a few new E2E tests added in this repo and in the CLI.

To infinity and beyond 🍞✨

Hi 👋

A new release is out — v0.0.56 🚀

This release focuses on frontend changes in the Console:

• You can now label your Satellites with environment flags and tags. These appear in the launchpad, switcher, and overview. On the launchpad, they can also be used as search filters to quickly find the right Satellite.
• A new navigation feature – called “Spotlight” or “Quick Access” – lets you jump anywhere in the Console or run actions (such as changing the theme) in seconds. Open it with the search icon in the navbar or by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + K.

Hopefully these make building with the Console a little more fun (and faster)!

Hi 👋

Let me know if anything looks fishy — and happy coding! 👨‍🔧

The new “Notifications” component:

The overall look: collapsible menu, redesigned tabs, more prominent actions, and more.

As a side note on this release: aside from the custom domain feature, I think it’s now possible to configure your entire project — including authentication, data, storage, and emulator — directly within the Juno config file. Plus with type safety as the cherry on top.

This is especially handy for maintainability or if your project can be forked.

Here’s an example config that shows where and how the project is deployed, which headers to apply to assets, defines the structure of that data, and which image to use when running the emulator with Podman:

import { defineConfig } from "@junobuild/config";

/** @type {import('@junobuild/config').JunoConfig} */
export default defineConfig({
  satellite: {
    ids: {
      development: "jx5yt-yyaaa-aaaal-abzbq-cai",
      production: "fmkjf-bqaaa-aaaal-acpza-cai"
    },
    source: "build",
    predeploy: ["npm run build"],
    storage: {
      headers: [
        {
          source: "**/*.png",
          headers: [["Cache-Control", "max-age=2592000"]]
        }
      ]
    },
    collections: {
      datastore: [
        {
          collection: "notes",
          read: "managed",
          write: "managed",
          memory: "stable"
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  emulator: {
    runner: {
      type: "podman"
    },
    satellite: {}
  }
});

Documentation 👉 https://juno.build/docs/reference/configuration

I just shipped a release focuses solely on updates to the Console UI.

The main change is the addition of a new Health Check section under “Monitoring”, along with a clearer breakdown of memory metrics.

I also revisited the notion of the “auto-refill threshold”, as the previous description was misleading or partial.

Lastly, the step related to the “authentication domain” in the hosting wizard has been simplified.

All these changes are, of course, documented.

• Monitoring
• Freezing Threshold
• Domain based User Identity

Happy weekend ☀️

Don’t deploy on Fridays?

I just released a new version focused entirely on improving the wallet and enhancing the user experience in the Console.

⚡ Snappier UI/UX
🔒 Improved data certification (query+update calls)
🪄 Slick new wizards for top-ups, cycle transfers, and sending ICP

Happy weekend, everyone! ☀️🚀

👉 Release v0.0.42 · junobuild/juno

Joining the wallet 💵 display party – balances and amounts are now displayed in USD on the Juno Console too! 🎉

Kudos to KongSwap for sharing their exchange rate endpoint! 🙌

While I was at it, I fixed a few navigation leftovers from the last version, reviewed the UX of all transaction modals, integrated the exchange feature into each of them, and... had some fun with the colors 🎨

🌍 TIL the CMC actually exposes the list of supported subnets through two endpoints, not just one!

So, the European & Fiduciary subnets are now also available in Juno Console for spinning up new Satellites! 🛰️
