The in-editor panel now ships with tabbed DevTools — Network, Console, and Elements — alongside the JS REPL and hot reload controls.

GitHub webhook auto-sync

Push to your GitHub repo and Cloudpen pulls the changes and redeploys your live URL automatically. No CI/CD pipeline configuration required.

Apr 12Improvement

Built-in AI assistant available to all users. Understands your current file and project context — not a generic chatbot bolted on top.
