Hi there 👋

We are back with another issue of "Inside the Box," a summary of the CodeSandbox highlights from last month.

Let's jump right into it!

Latest Product News

New editor powered by VS Code Web 🔥 — After additional testing with thousands of beta users, we have officially rolled out our new editor powered by VS Code Web. Our biggest editor overhaul in years combines the familiarity and extensibility of VS Code Web with the power of CodeSandbox DevTools. For now, you can revert to the old experience by clicking “Disable VS Code Web” at the editor's top right.

New & improved Test Runner 🧪 — Many of our users have relied on the tests feature of our legacy editor for educational purposes and prototyping new features in isolation. Now, it's available in our new editor and has some improvements like test auto-detection and pinning.

Major overhaul of the Docs 📄 — With the launch of the new editor, we saw the perfect opportunity to bundle a series of updates to our Docs. We have added and updated documentation pages for the main product flows and freshened up our FAQ with questions our community shared over the past few months.

Full changelog 📜 — Last month, we also shipped several improvements and fixes to the CodeSandbox experience. Have a look at the changelog!

Web Bytes

How We Improved Our Workflows by Dogfooding Our Platform 💡 — We have been hearing good things from companies embracing cloud development, which reminded us of this excellent blog post by our product engineer Alex Moldovan. It describes some engineering breakthroughs our teams experienced while coding in the cloud. Worth a read!
