Faster Renders & Live Export Editing

  1. Significant rendering performance improvements on mobile — Android devices now render far faster thanks to GPU pipeline optimizations.
  2. Removed a per-frame synchronous GPU stall that was blocking the CPU on every single render on mobile browsers.
  3. Capped internal render resolution to eliminate unnecessary texture overhead on high-DPR screens like Pixel 9.
  4. Export page overhaul: tweak your scene settings live on the export page without going back to the editor.
  5. Blackberry Storm received a major fidelity upgrade — replaced the old programmatic hardware drawing with a photorealistic device render.
  6. Refined iOS message bubble tails for pixel-accurate iMessage fidelity across both light and dark mode.
  7. Improved light and dark mode behavior across all themes for consistent, platform-accurate rendering.
  8. Expanded scene config: dark mode toggle, OS selector (iOS / Android), and more controls on the way.
  9. Export page preview image temporarily removed while a replacement is in progress.
  10. New profile page: view your account settings and get a sneak peek at upcoming integrations.
