1616+1717+Happy summer, Tanglers! While the rest of Europe vacations, we've been busy
1818+shipping. Quality of life improvements like Focus Mode, a whole new CI engine
1919+powered by microVMs, code search and a revamped timeline page. Lots to cover,
2020+let's get into it!
2121+2222+## Code search
2323+2424+
2626+2727+Full-text code search is here. You can now search for code across the
2828+*entire* Tangled network, and yes, regex is supported. :)
2929+3030+Try it here [in our monorepo](https://tangled.org/tangled.org/core/search)!
3131+3232+## Focus mode
3333+3434+
3636+3737+Focus Mode is a new way to clear notifications: lock in and knock out your list
3838+one item at a time, with a task bar that nudges you to stay on track until the
3939+queue is empty.
4040+4141+## Experimental XRPC API
4242+4343+
4545+4646+The Tangled XRPC API is live. An experimental API (using the [AT Protocol XRPC
4747+format](https://atproto.com/specs/xrpc)) to query Tangled is now available at
4848+[api.tangled.org](https://api.tangled.org). Give it a spin:
4949+5050+```
5151+λ curl https://api.tangled.org/xrpc/sh.tangled.repo.listRepos?subject=did:plc:wshs7t2adsemcrrd4snkeqli | jq
5252+```
5353+5454+You can browse the available lexicons in the monorepo, more docs to follow.
5555+5656+## A new home
5757+5858+
6060+6161+The homepage now uses a brand-new three-column layout: Notifications and
6262+Recents on the left, your Timeline (Global / Following) in the middle, and
6363+Trending, Announcements, and more on the right. We hope you like the improved
6464+information density just as much as we do!
6565+6666+## MicroVM-powered CI
6767+6868+
7070+7171+Spindles can now run jobs inside NixOS/Alpine QEMU microVMs. That means you can
7272+build Docker containers or run services like Postgres directly in your CI
7373+workflows, each job isolated by default.
