Happy summer, Tanglers! While the rest of Europe vacations, we've been busy shipping. Quality of life improvements like Focus Mode, a whole new CI engine powered by microVMs, code search and a revamped timeline page. Lots to cover, let's get into it!

Code search#

Full-text code search is here. You can now search for code across the entire Tangled network, and yes, regex is supported. :)

Try it here in our monorepo!

Focus mode#

Focus Mode is a new way to clear notifications: lock in and knock out your list one item at a time, with a task bar that nudges you to stay on track until the queue is empty.

Experimental XRPC API#

The Tangled XRPC API is live. An experimental API (using the AT Protocol XRPC format) to query Tangled is now available at api.tangled.org. Give it a spin:

curl https://api.tangled.org/xrpc/sh.tangled.repo.listRepos?subject=did:plc:wshs7t2adsemcrrd4snkeqli | jq

You can browse the available lexicons in the monorepo, more docs to follow.

A new home#

The homepage now uses a brand-new three-column layout: Notifications and Recents on the left, your Timeline (Global / Following) in the middle, and Trending, Announcements, and more on the right. We hope you like the improved information density just as much as we do!

MicroVM-powered CI#

Spindles can now run jobs inside NixOS/Alpine QEMU microVMs. That means you can build Docker containers or run services like Postgres directly in your CI workflows, each job isolated by default.

That's it for this issue! As always, you can reply to this email, or find us on Discord.
