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)!
