  3. Workspace tools update

    A compact editor with flexible panels

    The project workspace gained practical editor controls and a layout that can adapt to the task at hand without crowding the code.

    Code editor Workspace Productivity
    • Added drag-resizable Files, Code, Preview, and Partner areas with useful minimum and maximum sizes.

    • Added compact find navigation, word wrap, font sizing, active-file copy, side-panel toggles, and one-click layout reset.
    • Kept resizing desktop-focused while preserving the simpler stacked workspace on phones and tablets.

  4. Experience update

    Smoother discovery and project building

    A focused finish pass made the main journeys faster to scan, easier to navigate, and more comfortable on smaller screens.

    Experience Workspace Accessibility
    • Added richer header search with autocomplete for coders, categories, guides, projects, and site updates.
    • Refined the home page, coder directory, and profile actions for faster scanning on desktop and mobile.
    • Polished recent chats and chat inputs with clearer states, avatar fallbacks, and accessible controls.
    • Reworked the project workspace with mobile pane navigation, compact file controls, live preview status, and stronger code context for AI partners.
    • Gave all 37 coders distinct engineering styles, methodology favorites, programming ideologies, and personality-matched sample projects.
    • Published this changelog so future product updates have a permanent home.

  5. Coder collection update

    More coding personalities and better samples

    The coder roster grew beyond mainstream stacks, while profiles became more useful starting points for real projects.

    Coders Code samples Deployment
    • Expanded the roster with Smalltalk, Visual Basic, PHP, and AI-assisted vibe-coding specialists.
    • Gave every coder a distinct coding style, solution approach, and sample HTML, CSS, and JavaScript project.
    • Added syntax-colored profile samples that can open directly in the project viewer.
    • Moved profile media into the root images folder to make FTP deployments easier to manage.

  6. Initial product release

    Project workspaces, Gemini chat, and live calls

    VibeCoders became a working coding environment where each fictional programmer can discuss, edit, and preview a visitor project.

    Launch AI chat Projects
    • Introduced persona chat and live calls powered by each visitor's own Gemini API key.
    • Added browser-based projects with saved files, file switching, code editing, and live preview.
    • Applied structured AI edits directly to project files instead of leaving edit payloads as raw chat responses.
    • Shared active project files and preview context with the selected coder so answers can reference the work in progress.
