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, andspace-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
9999no longer silently changes to1000. - 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.
