What’s new on the canvas

Drop a pin on any card and start a thread — feedback lives next to the work, not in a separate chat.

Mention, react, and resolve a thread when it's handled; reopen it if it comes back.

Comments stick to their card as you move and group things around the board.

Panning and zooming stay smooth even when the board is full of cards and sections.

Less lag on large projects, especially on a laptop.

Create your account or sign in with one click using GitHub — no password to set or remember.

Prefer email? That still works exactly as before.

Point any AI at duetpad and sign in — no keys to copy. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, claude.ai, ChatGPT, Grok, or anything that speaks MCP.

One place to connect, whether it's your first AI or your fifth — Settings → Connections.

Connecting and reconnecting are the same quick step — your AI stays signed in and refreshes itself.

When your AI fills out a longer note, the card grows to show all of it — no more resizing every card by hand.

Made one compact on purpose? It stays that way, even when your AI edits it.

Drag it open again and it goes back to growing as new content lands.

Cards live on the tab you put them on — no more stray copies turning up on other tabs.

Group cards into a section and the whole group moves as one when you drag it.

Delete a tab or a section straight from the canvas when you're done with it.

As you think out loud together, your AI captures the work onto the canvas — problems, options, decisions — instead of burying it in chat.

Notes render cleanly formatted on the canvas, tables and all; click in to edit them.

It can group related cards into sections to keep a busy canvas legible.

The canvas gently follows along to wherever your AI is working, so you never lose the thread.

A new canvas menu gathers tidy-up, follow, and view controls in one place.

A single setup command that clears out any old connections, so pairing just works.

If your AI goes quiet, the canvas tells you and offers a clean reconnect.

A first-run welcome shows what you and your AI can do together on an empty canvas.

Send a link and people see your real canvas — laid out exactly as you built it.

Read-only: visitors can explore every card, nothing changes underneath you.

Works signed-out — no account needed to take a look.

When your AI invents the right type of doc for the moment — a SWOT grid, a risk table, a staged plan — it now shows up cleanly.

Fixed a case where an invented layout could come up blank.

Cards also recover gracefully if a tab has been left open a long time.

The history panel now fits the screen — the newest versions are always reachable.

Scrolls cleanly from latest to first, so you can restore any point with confidence.

Generate a public read-only link for any project.

Pin a project to the sidebar; archive it when done.

Duplicate a project in one click.

First-run users can land in a complete reference project.

Six prefilled cards — one of each main type.

Editable, not read-only — keep it, fork from it, or delete it.

When inside a project, the sidebar shows that project's cards.

The editor gets noticeably more room to breathe.

No more duplicate card lists.

Pair Claude Code from a single page, no copy-paste required.

Pairing introduces duetpad to your AI by itself — nothing to configure.

Prefer to do it by hand? The manual route is still there on the Pair page.

Type one sentence on the new-project page.

Paired Claude Code drafts JTBD + Persona + Acceptance Criteria.

Cards land on the canvas live, as they're drafted.
