We launched Wonder on Tuesday, April 14, 2026. Here is what shipped that week and the days right after.

Features

  • Wonder is live. Public alpha launched on April 14.
  • A new shader engine with editable parameters joined the canvas, plus dedicated icons for space-evenly, space-between, and space-around.
  • Page backgrounds persist. Set a canvas background and it stays.
  • Custom text caret. Editing text on canvas now uses a Wonder-styled cursor.
  • Copy and paste styles from the context menu. Pick a node, copy its visual styles, paste onto another.
  • Tooltips on every tool. Every toolbar item now has a tooltip explaining what it does and its shortcut.
  • New AI model: Kimi. Available from the model picker in chat.

Editor improvements

  • Gap and padding handlers on canvas. Pull on the gap or padding directly without leaving the canvas.
  • Improved multi-selection logic. Cleaner selection through nested Auto Layout, smarter merging across hierarchies.
  • Better alignment lines for text nodes. Text aligns to the visual edge rather than the bounding box.
  • Layer panel polish. Tabbing through layers feels smoother, visibility order is fixed, and undo/redo of layer changes saves correctly.
  • Border radius input. Typing 9999 no longer silently changes to 1000.
  • Modifier helper lines update during arrow-key nudging. The second modifier line tracks live now.
  • Flex shrink logic for fixed-size children. Fixed children inside flex containers now behave correctly under shrink.
  • Figma copy and paste improvements. Pasting from Figma now preserves more structure and styling fidelity than before.
  • MCP connect modal refinements. Layout and tool selection flow got a polish pass.

Bug fixes

  • Default thumbnail icon updated.
  • Outline visibility for editable host elements no longer flickers.
  • Dragging a node with margin no longer drifts off the cursor.
  • Duplicate children inside a flex parent no longer regress on paste.
  • Selection boxes are no longer offset on AI-generated UI elements.
  • Pasting copied Auto Layout no longer sets a maxed-out size.
  • Custom text cursor restores its shape at the padding handle boundary.
