Changelog

Developer-facing changes to the API, the URL grammar, the SDK, and these docs — newest first.
Snowcone is in beta and moving fast. This tracks changes that affect what you build — new endpoints, URL grammar, SDK surface, and docs — not internal work. Spot a doc that contradicts the shipped types? It’s gated in CI, so it’s almost always a stale cache — hard-refresh.

One styling story for @snowcone-app/ui

The prebuilt @snowcone-app/ui/styles.css stylesheet and its app-modern wrapper are gone. The single supported setup is host-compiled: your Tailwind v4 build imports @snowcone-app/ui/styles/globals.css and @source-scans the package (plus transpilePackages in Next.js). Setup. (@snowcone-app/canvas is unchanged — one style.css import, no Tailwind needed.)

Default-secure shop storage origins

Every shop gets a {shopId}.storage.snowcone.app asset origin, live end-to-end. Upload artwork there with POST /uploads/base64 and it’s fetchable by the renderer with no extra allowlisting.

Mint a Shop ID with one call — no signup

POST /shops/sandbox returns a working shop_id instantly; a human claims it later for payouts. Agents and prototypes can render and sell before anyone signs up. See Get started.

Realtime server-side render

Render a whole canvas over a WebSocket — the server fetches the referenced assets, no pixel upload. Mint a grant, open the socket, stream canvas_state. Docs: realtime.

Multi-placement URL grammar

The render URL gained a public query grammar — opt.<attr>, asset.<key>, color.<key> — so multi-placement products and variants are expressible in a plain URL. Placements · Options.

Branded catalog host

The public catalog moved to search.snowcone.app. (This entry also shipped a prebuilt styles.css for @snowcone-app/ui, since removed — see the styling entry above for the current setup.)
