Inside the Box: August Community Update

Hello hello đź‘‹

We are back with a fresh "Inside the Box" issue to keep you updated with the CodeSandbox highlights from last month.

Ok, let's go!

Latest Product News

New & improved template picker 🔥 — Now, we show a single modal that combines all our templates, making it easier to find the ideal language and runtime for your project. You can combine our filters to find anything in seconds. Check it out!

New Template Picker

Sandpack static file support 🖼️ — You can now serve static files inside a Sandpack instance! This beta feature allows serving SVGs, fonts, images, and much more, which helps take isolated, interactive code examples to a new level!

Sandpack Static File Support

Deprecated the legacy editor 👋 — After 7 years, we have officially deprecated our original “v1” editor, which is now replaced by our new editor powered by VS Code Web.

Full changelog 📜 — For a comprehensive list of all other improvements and fixes we released last month, check out the full changelog!

LlamaCoder & Sandpack 🤯 — LlamaCoder, by @nutlope, is one of the most exciting projects we've seen in a long time! It uses Llama 3.1 and Together AI to generate full React apps and components based on a prompt, and then uses our very own Sandpack to display the generated code in seconds in a live playground.
