Pixel kit
This beta includes several technical improvements aimed at performance, flexibility workflows: Unlimited canvas: Previous canvas limits were removed. Earlier restrictions caused unnecessary re-renders and blocked operations. Now designers can place elements anywhere without overhead. Optimized state management: Creating, updating, and deleting elements now triggers minimal state updates. Only affected parts of the state are recalculated, reducing processing and improving responsiveness. Dedicated icon element: Icons now have their own element type. This decouples them from general elements,…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.
