New in Sizzy 71.1.0 (May 31, 2023)

  • Sizzy 71:
  • Hold your horses for the biggest Sizzy release yet! We're very excited to show you what we had brewing for the better part of the year 🚀
  • While Sizzy was already quite feature-packed, we wanted to make it the most powerful and appetising version of itself. This release brings together the most requested Sizzy features while vastly improving on what we already had.
  • If you prefer your changelogs in a video format, Kitze recorded a walkthrough video of the new release and you can click here to watch it 🍿
  • Multiple tabs:
  • We all have been wanting it for ages, and it's finally here! No, not the Marvel x DC crossover movie, but the next best thing.
  • Multiple Tabs:
  • Each tab can take the form of a normal browser tab, or a power-packed workspace for testing your websites.
  • We spent the past 7 months polishing the UX for this, so you get to use all the Sizzy goodness in multiple tabs, while keeping it as intuitive as any regular-featureless-no-innovation-since-decades browser.
  • Split views:
  • Sometimes, you need a new tab. Sometimes, you only need half of it. As someone who uses an ultra-wide monitor at work, this is my favourite Sizzy feature.
  • You can easily divide your tab into horizontal resizable sections, and each split view can be a normal web view, or a device canvas. You can also configure the session, simulations, and a ton of other things for each split view individually.
  • Revamped Safari on iOS 16:
  • We tried to simulate the Safari scroll behavior on iOS 16 as good as possible.
  • Proper dark mode for iOS devices:
  • When switching between dark and light simulation, the OS and Safari UI will reflect the changes accordingly.
  • Improved project management:
  • The new Sizzy makes the Projects 100x more powerful. All your tabs are now tied to your projects, and you can seamlessly switch through the projects using the new shiny Project Switcher.
  • We got rid of the old modals for managing and editing projects in favour of a much intuitive inline flow.
  • It's easier than ever to create groups, projects, and move them around with a seamless drag-n-drop UI.
  • Improved Session Manager:
  • Choose a color for each session
  • Separate session selector from session manager
  • Show buttons to easily switching between sessions
  • Device Canvas:
  • Remember the old Sizzy workspace with multiple devices? We packed all of that in something called a Device Canvas.
  • So now, you can create as many of them in tabs and split views, and even create temporary device canvases on the fly and close them when you're done with them.

  • So now, you can create as many of them in tabs and split views, and even create temporary device canvases on the fly and close them when you're done with them.
  • The new device canvas also comes with some new improvements
  • Middle click to close a device:
  • Right-click menu in the canvas for quick actions
  • A new 'Add' menu to quickly add your favourite devices
  • Resizable Panes:
  • Searching for where the 'Resizable' mode went in the new Sizzy? Well, it metamorphosed itself into something called as Resizable Pane.
  • A 'Resizable Pane' is basically a free-size device you can add in a device canvas. You can change it's viewport dimensions by simply resizing it as you like.
  • This is especially useful when you quickly want to test something in a few different resolutions, without having to think about what devices to add. You can also create a device canvas with resizable panes set to the breakpoints you're using in your code, so you work directly on them without having to think in terms of devices.
  • Simplified presets:
  • The old presets logic in Sizzy was a bit confusing. Now presets are super simple, and they only save the following:
  • List of devices:
  • View mode
  • Zoom level
  • Device configuration (header, frame, etc.)
  • New Tab screen:
  • The New Tab screen lets you easily:
  • Search for a website or enter a URL
  • Open a bookmark
  • Quick start a Device Canvas with one of your top 5 most used devices
  • Quick start a Device Canvas with a device preset
  • Cleaner UI and improved UX:
  • The new Sizzy looks cleaner than ever!
  • We removed the left sidebar
  • We introduced more visual consistency across elements
  • We removed a bunch of unnecessary icons
  • We introduced a new overflow menu for icons that are not frequently needed
  • We improved the overall look of buttons, dropdown menus, popups, etc.
  • Memory management:
  • You can now suspend tabs that you're done-with-but-not-really from the tab right-click menu. This will keep the tab in your workspace, but will free up all the resources it's using. This is pretty useful for tabs that have a Device Canvas with multiple devices inside. The tab will load again when you visit them.
  • Auto-suspend tabs when inactive:
  • If you have some tabs that you rarely use, but still need them for quick-access, you can have them set to automatically suspend when you switch away from them.
  • Low power mode:
  • Travelling or running low on CPU power/battery? Turn on the low-power mode (Settings → Performance) to automatically suspend any unused tabs that haven't been touched for more than 15 minutes. You can also turn it on from Butler.
  • Revamped Butler:
  • Our beloved Butler got a new tailored suit, and it looks so sleek. The butler looks and works better than ever, and now supports nested workflows.
  • Omnibar:
  • Get search suggestions when searching in the URL bar, and easily search and navigate to one of your existing bookmarks.
  • Improved Debugging Panel:
  • The debugging panel got it's own share of makeover too!
  • The panel looks much cleaner and clutter-free now with the new styles
  • The icons are bigger now, your squinting eyes will thank us.
  • Unified header for all debugging panel tabs.
  • Easily hide the tabs you don't need in an overflow menu, and bring them back with a click.
  • Custom tabs (websites) have UI controls for refreshing the page, going back to the home page, etc.
  • The tabs for Todos, Notes, Code Snippets, are now moved to the Debugging Panel
  • I'm sure you're excited to try your hands on these goodies. We're excited to hear your feedback. If you have something to say or report, do tweet at us or send us an email. We're all ears.

New in Sizzy 60.1.0 (May 3, 2022)

  • Highlights:
  • A brand new design
  • Toolbar cleanup
  • Workspace Toolbar
  • Left Sidebar
  • Debugging Panel
  • Devices Search Box
  • The Photo Studio
  • A brand new design:
  • We worked really hard and we are really proud of Sizzy's fresh, new look! We redesigned the app to make it simpler, more intuitive and easier to use.
  • We really hope that you'll find it more approachable and the new design will encourage you to explore and use more of its features.
  • Toolbar cleanup:
  • Based on our survey, it was clear that the main problem with Sizzy is that most users use only a handful of the app’s basic features, despite it supporting hundreds of tools that help developers build software faster.
  • The way that all of these buttons and tools were organized and connected made it hard to explore all of the functionality at hand, so Sizzy felt a bit intimidating to use.
  • The cleanup:
  • We have improved the look of the main toolbar by reducing and simplifying the number of icons and plugins that were scattered around randomly.
  • In the middle you will find all the controls related to the URL: like the navigation buttons, bookmarks, etc. Also, now you can see the favicon of a page, and when you hover it, you can see the title of the page.
  • On the left side, we neatly grouped everything related to Projects, for example, the buttons for opening the project in your code editor or in the file explorer.
  • On the right side, you'll find the plugins, along with the Photo Studio and a few other helpful buttons
  • A nice little bonus that we added is individual icons for different code editors
  • If an icon for your editor is missing, let us know and we'll add it in a future release.
  • Workspace Toolbar:
  • We reviewed the app’s hierarchy to understand how certain tools related to one another and might be grouped together in a more clear way.
  • The URL bar was getting too cluttered, so we had to move certain functionalities in a new toolbar, dedicated to actions related to the Sizzy workspace and devices.
  • The buttons grouped on the left side are all related to features that engage the devices' abilities in a different way.
  • The buttons grouped on the right side are all about the alignment and layout of the devices.
  • The Workspace Toolbar can be toggled with Cmd + Shift + X on macOS, Ctrl + Shift + X on Windows/Linux.
  • If you want an even cleaner workspace, you can always use Zen mode, by pressing Z.
  • Left Sidebar:
  • We have grouped all the reference controls inside an easily reachable sidebar on the left. This way you can keep your Devices, Tasks, Notes and the Browser open, while you’re working on your project.
  • The Left Sidebar can be toggled by pressing Cmd + Shift + ; on macOS, Ctrl + Shift + ; on Windows/Linux.
  • Debugging Panel:
  • The biggest change here is that you can have a direct access to any tab in the Debugging Panel, without having to expand it first. We added a keyboard shortcut cmd + shift + D so you can easily toggle it.
  • We moved the window controls and settings for the Debugging Panel to the top right.
  • In the Debugging Panel settings, you have the option to change the look of the tab content according to your preference.
  • Devices Search Box:
  • To save your time, we have added a search box inside the Devices Drawer so now you can easily find the one that you need.
  • The Devices Drawer can be opened only in responsive mode, because that is the only mode that allows previewing multiple devices. And to make it easier for you, we simplified the reordering of the devices by using drag and drop.
  • The Photo Studio:
  • The Studio is redesigned and has notable improvements in the screen recording area.

New in Sizzy 59.0.0 (Feb 16, 2022)

  • Styles Inspector:
  • We have added a new efficient way to inspect and modify any element's CSS classes and styles without having to leave Sizzy or dig through DevTools.
  • This is super handy when working with Tailwind CSS or any similar CSS library. You can toggle, remove, edit and add CSS classes with autocomplete. All changes are live on the page and you can copy the final list of classes when you are done tweaking.
