Open Design 0.2.0

on GitHub

🎉 45 PRs · 23 contributors · 24 hours — Open Design 0.2.0 is here, and it's the biggest single-day product wave this project has shipped. ⚡ Generate image / video / audio inside the chat. Ship cinematic videos with 11 ready-to-go HyperFrames prompts. Build polished slide decks with the new html-ppt skill. Drop screenshots straight into preview comments. Toggle dark mode. Speak 13 languages. And under the hood: headless --prod deploy + OpenClaude fallback. Built by the community, in a single day. 🚀

🔥 Highlights

• 💬 Click-to-comment on HTML previews — pins anchor to elements, feed straight to your agent. Pick an element, drop a pin or screenshot; selected comments become hidden agent context, turning "make this blue" into a real revision. (#284) Thanks @alchemistklk.
• 🎬 xAI Grok Imagine integration — image, video, and native audio in one stack. Bring your own xAI key, generate all three media types right inside chat. (#276) Thanks @lefarcen.
• 🎞️ 11 new HyperFrames video prompt templates. Cinematic openers, product reveals, character intros — pick a template, swap a couple of details, get a video that looks director-shot. Zero prompt engineering, zero blank canvas. (#227) Thanks @pftom.
• 🖼️ New html-ppt skill for HTML slide decks. The lewislulu/html-ppt-skill is now built in with 15 production-ready Example cards. Idea → polished deck in minutes — no PowerPoint, no Figma file, no design tax. (#193) Thanks @pftom.
• 🌒 Dark mode — system / light / dark toggle across the entire UI. Settings, Chat, and Preview panes all got a fresh coat. Finally. (#259) Thanks @sysCat64.
• 🌍 Four new UI languages: Hungarian, Polish, Korean, Turkish. Open Design now ships with 13 UI locales out of the box — the localization community keeps showing up. (#233, #253, #273, #288) Thanks @codefl0w, @2YoungKim, @karolgajda-techsquare, and @komlosizsolt.

✅ System Requirements

• macOS — Apple Silicon (arm64) only, macOS 11 Big Sur or newer. Intel macs are not supported in 0.2.0.
• Windows — x64, Windows 10 / 11. Installer is unsigned (SmartScreen will warn on first launch — choose "More info → Run anyway").
• Linux — no packaged build; run from source or via the new --prod headless mode.
• From source — Node.js 24.x and pnpm 10.33.2+ (per engines in package.json).

⚠️ Known Issues

• 🪟 Windows installer is unsigned — SmartScreen / antivirus warnings on first launch. Code signing tracked for a follow-up release.
• 🍎 No macOS Intel (x64) build — Apple Silicon only.
• 🐧 No Linux desktop package — --prod headless mode now makes self-hosting straightforward.
• 🌐 i18n metadata drift on new prompt templates — A handful of recent prompt templates don't yet have display titles in every UI locale; the release-stable i18n coverage test is currently skipped. Tracked as a follow-up.

📚 Documentation
