Reshaped v4 is out today 🔥

After 2 years of minor releases, we’re shipping a new major that simplifies component APIs and refreshes the visual foundation. With Storybook MCP and more production-ready examples it gives better defaults to you and your agents.

Main highlights 👇

For Shopify Editions Fall 2026, we explored how far we could go with the new HTML-in-Canvas API. Want to know more?

@raunofreiberg yeah, also super hard to pivot the agent and your brain to something else if the whole work is about shaping the first output, got to at least have some core ideas of what it should be first

@sitenley @boardui Having some ambient music would fit so well here

Made a skill to generate release videos using the real Untap components and asmr sounds 😌

@diegohaz Same, with this benchmark difference, any update seems like it would 5.6 better

[Dima Belyaev @blvdmitry]

@diegohaz That’s huge, congrats!

[Dima Belyaev @blvdmitry]

@SD_Ashira @katarinabatina Funny enough, people I know who produce polished work also have way more polished early explorations and it doesn't take a lot of time to care about it. On the other hand people who plan to "zoom in" later, never do that

[Dima Belyaev @blvdmitry]

@alexcarp_me A mask since it supports a bunch of different shapes (not always circular, not always a single digit)

[Dima Belyaev @blvdmitry]

Finally getting tiny details like this badge mask cutout that I couldn't find time to do before. Got a bunch of those incoming while building an app with it and also discovered that since Reshaped v4 release – I'm very happy with all the components it has today. It's the perfect set and I wouldn't expect to have more or fewer coming from a library

[Dima Belyaev @blvdmitry]

I do both. Base UI + letting agent to figure out the styles with some references worked nicely for internal tools or quick iterations.

For long term product work, either spending some time to review the components separately or using Reshaped / another library. This saved me so much time on UI micro-decisions that I otherwise have to explicitly tell agent to implement.

Mobile web controls is my type of forever grind this evening 😅

[Dima Belyaev @blvdmitry]

@SeanBrydon13 @thekitze You underestimate how many hours I spent in wow when I was a kid and how many characters I had 😂

[Dima Belyaev @blvdmitry]

@SeanBrydon13 @thekitze Damn, I'm jealous but also I know it will just suck me in just to complete all the same leveling paths I did like 20 times before 🥲

[Dima Belyaev @blvdmitry]

After getting used to read 1-2k lines PRs all the time, quite surprised that full Untap code is <25k for the web and electron implementation. Reshaped is definitely doing some heavy lifting here 🥹

[Dima Belyaev @blvdmitry]

@MikkoH They can be, but in many cases I see things like a 5 line react hook importing a utility from a completely different place in the repo used only by this hook
