We’ve launched a new way to share your sparks, an improved local development experience, smoother workflows, and a handful of handy fixes. Here’s what’s new.

✨ Features

  • Organization sharing: You can now share sparks with a specific GitHub organization to keep your sparks secure while making collaboration with teammates easier. Pick your organization from the Publish modal to give all users of that organization access to your spark.

  • Improved local development experience: Create a repository for your spark, open it in a Codespace, and run npm run dev to expand on your spark.

  • Better visibility into deployments: We now clearly show which version of your spark is deployed and indicate when you’ve iterated past your deployed state.
  • Improved link displays in Discord: Sharing spark links on Discord now automatically display a branded preview of your app, making it easier for others to see what you’re sharing.
  • IME language support in text input fields: Users leveraging IME-based languages (e.g., Japanese, Chinese) can now iterate more easily in GitHub Spark without premature field submission.
  • More obvious reverts: We added a Restore button in the iterate panel to make the ability to revert to previous versions more obvious and visible.

🐞 Notable fixes

  • We fixed flickering in the Data Panel during high-rate Spark KV store interactions.
  • *.pid files from background processes no longer appear as manual edits in the iteration panel.

Stay tuned for more updates, and keep sparking new ideas! ✨
