Hey! This week we focused on implementing some fixes and improvements to help round out Steel’s DevEx while we prepare for [REDACTED]. Let’s get into it!

🔧 Bugfixes/Improvements

    • Standardized package names in the repo for a cleaner dependency structure

  2. 2

    Steel Cloud

    • Fixes to re-render bugs that were causing some state update delays

    • Fixes requests ordering from FE to preload data for a snappier UI

    • New Signup / Sign-in page dropped :)
