The Falcon Alpha 0.1.2 release is all about helping you stay in flow from the moment you open your project:
Code Preview
- You can now click any element in the preview and Falcon highlights the exact part of the UI you are working on, in both the preview and the code editor.
- Light and dark mode now have improved default text colors, so designs look correct right away.
- You can edit a component’s props directly inside the preview without digging into files.
- Falcon now saves those props into your project’s JSON automatically.
- Components with multiple exports now render smoothly without breaking.
- Falcon remembers your preferred theme every time you return.
- All preview controls now include tooltips to explain what they do.
- Falcon can detect your system theme automatically, and you can still switch to whatever theme you prefer.
- You can force the preview into light or dark mode if you want a specific look.
Code Editing
- Falcon now includes Emmet support, which lets you type short abbreviations that instantly expand into full HTML or JSX.
- For example, if you type button Falcon automatically turns it into <button></button>. This makes writing layouts much faster and easier.
- Brackets now auto-close as you type, which keeps your flow smooth and reduces small mistakes.
Error Handling
- If something breaks during rendering, Falcon now shows clear and friendly error messages instead of confusing logs.
- A new Render Error UI highlights exactly what went wrong and where, which helps you fix issues quickly.
