Polypane 29 is here! 🥳

It comes with our take on a network panel, our snippet store, a custom selector outline, the best way to test pseudo states, passkey support on macOS, WhatsApp previews, grid/flex overlay visualizations and, like, 10 more things.

By the way, did you know the browser helper extension also registers a shortcut?

Press alt/opt + P on any tab to send it to Polypane. ✅

We updated our browser extension that lets you quickly open URLs and links in Polypane!

A big theme in our survey was about lowering the friction of opening Polypane. Now the extension shows an on-page button for all local pages, making it super easy.

If the button is in the way, you can quickly collapse it, so it's still there when you need it, just not as visible.

If the top right corner doesn't work for you, you can place it in any of the other corners or fully hide it from the extension menu.

- 💻 @polypane (a very cool development browser)

- 📁 Consul (convert files by renaming)

Safe-area-inset lets you make the most use of device screens, even with their pesky notches or islands that get in the way.

Check out our deep dive to learn how to use safe-area-insets, what to use them for, and the best way to test them on desktop.

Polypane has pixel perfect social media previews for ten different social media platforms. That's already much more than any other tool out there.

But Polypane is the kind of app that goes to 11. 🧑‍🎤

So we're adding WhatsApp in the next release.

We make good use of the Intl API in our app and on our website, so it was high time we did a Polypane-style deep-dive on it.

Check out our new article, play around with the interactive examples or hear Kilian yap about it on video. Whatever works for you!

We just released Polypane 28.0.2 with many bugfixes, big performance improvements, 25% smaller installer, new warnings in the outline & meta panels and a fix for macOS autoupdate.🥳

Except the fix for macOS autoupdate didn't work.😬 So we also released 28.0.3 to fix that 😎

@leerob @syntaxfm Been playing with the cursor cloud agents and I was surprised the terminal wasn’t locked down. I could install anything

Do you guys have any plans to surface the localhost urls to the web automatically so I could share a WIP?

[Polypane. Browser for devs who care @polypane]

We just released version 28.0.1 with some bug fixes and nice quality-of-life improvements!

How to debug the starting-style at-rule in Polypane

Why starting-style exists, how to use it, how to inspect and edit it, and a little bit about what makes Polypane's elements panel so different from other devtools and why that makes things better for you

@chazza Oh, thanks! Doing that on the browser level is easier than on a the OS level?

If you tried installing a VPN or proxy extension into Polypane, can you tell us why?

It happens a lot and it's a use case we really want to understand. We follow back, so you can DM if you prefer 🙏

Special shout-out to @SimpleAnalytic which automatically filters out Polypane without you having to do anything 🙌

When working on your own site in Polypane, you probably want to exclude your visits from your analytics tool.

We made a list of analytics tools and how do to that directly in Polypane or in their settings. If your tool isn't listed, let us know!

Did you know you can right-click any element with an ID to get a link to the document fragment? And just as easily have it formatted as markdown?

One of the many things that takes dozens of steps in other browsers that takes two clicks in Polypane.
