Astro v5.1.0 – Smarter, sleeker, and easier to try

This update brings some big quality-of-life improvements, plus a new way for anyone to test-drive Astro before signing up.

✨ What’s new

  • Demo Mode – Curious about Astro but don’t have a Nova ID yet? You can now send up to 2 free messages to ModelA 8-Nano without logging in. No other features, just a taste.

  • Code Preview Canvas – We’ve added a code-focused variant canvas that supports live previews for HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, JSON, Markdown, Python, Vue.js, and React. Perfect for devs who want to see their work in action.

🎨 Design & usability

  • Canvas redesign – The canvas now follows the Orbit design guidelines, giving you a cleaner, more modern workspace.

  • Resizable Canvas – You can finally resize the Interactive Canvas without issues.

  • @Handler hybrid system – The canvas now runs on a new hybrid backend with @Handlers, making it more reliable and flexible.

🛠 Fixes

  • Markdown rendering issues fixed, no more weird formatting surprises.

  • Editing messages works smoothly again (finally).

Astro’s now easier to try, smoother to use, and more powerful for devs.
