Changelog

Fixes

• Angular Hot Reload - Fixed critical issue where Angular projects would crash after 2-3 code edits with "Maximum call stack size exceeded" or "JIT compiler not available" errors. The fix: upgraded to Angular 21 with zoneless mode. No more zone.js, cleaner hot reload, smaller bundles, and better performance.

Improvements

• Angular 21.0.2 - Updated from Angular 17 to the latest Angular 21 with modern features and improved performance.
• Zoneless Change Detection - Angular template now uses provideZonelessChangeDetection() for cleaner architecture without zone.js overhead.

New

• Angular Template - The long-awaited Angular support is here! Many users requested this, and now you can build Angular apps directly in Playcode with full TypeScript support, standalone components, and live preview. New landing page at /angular.
• Developer Portfolio Template - Beautiful personal website template with hero section, about, skills grid, project showcase, experience timeline, and contact section. Perfect for developers looking to showcase their work.
• Blog Template - Multi-page blog with featured posts, category filters, clean article typography, code blocks, and newsletter signup. Built with React and Tailwind CSS.
• SaaS Landing Page Template - Professional landing page with animated hero, pricing toggle (monthly/yearly), feature grid, testimonials carousel, and company logos. Ready for your next product launch.

Improvements

• All Templates Redesigned - Every template has been rewritten from scratch with modern, beautiful designs. Dark themes, glassmorphism effects, gradient backgrounds, smooth animations, and interactive elements. Templates now look like real production websites, not simple demos.
• Template Selection UI - Modernized the template picker with better organization, showcase section for full-featured templates, and "NEW" badges for recently added templates.

Fixes

• Email Notifications - Fixed an issue with Cloudflare that was incorrectly pushing out email notifications. This was causing unnecessary emails that many users found annoying. The issue is now resolved.

New

• Memory Management UI - Browse, search, edit, and organize your memory records. Filter by type, confirm AI suggestions, or manually add memories. Access from Account menu or user profile.
