Flare 2.0.0 is out!

by

Hello all! Thanks for supporting Flare during the launch this week. I'm currently working to improve the user experience and make this project a reference in the agentic coding landscape.

I just released the version v2.0.0, which includes several improvements. Check them out!

Release Notes Flare 2.0.0

New features

  1. Find in files. Ctrl+Shift+F (or / in Ctrl+K): matches grouped per file with editor-coloured previews, open at line, case/word/regex toggles, replace-all behind a confirmation. The top search box now suggests files and hands off to text search.

  2. Per-file view. Expanding a file lays its symbols out in a grid on a plate beside the card, unfolding its folder first.

  3. Drafts on the board. Click-out asks Save / Save as draft / Discard; drafts stay yours and are never handed to agents. "+ Task" starts blank.

  4. Compact density (View → Density) and a Changed-files section with one-click diffs.

Agent channel

  1. Agents get names you can say aloud (Claude 1, Codex 1) and a shared room: they post which files they are taking, mark them on the graph, and ask each other by name.

  2. Two agents heading for the same file is called out before either writes; the panel shows who is here, what is taken, and how much of what was written was announced first.

  3. An agent can write the session down; Flare checks the story against the writes it watched and says what was left out or never happened.

UI & UX

  1. One sidebar: explorer, a permanent Inspector (metrics, risk/reuse meters, symbols, importers), Changed, Structure — the right-hand panel is gone and the canvas keeps its full width.

  2. Bare canvas: Lens/View/Re-layout in top-right menus, no floating folders drawer; Districts open fully visible, Wheel arcs tethered to the ring.

  3. Terminal: app-palette ANSI colours in both themes, grouped bar, self-retiring hint, heartbeat pulse.

  4. Control panel with recessed lanes and raised cards; calmer Review, Insights and Channel; dismissible explanations.

  5. Light theme fixed (edges, tints, shadows); SVG icon set and file-type glyphs; cluster-coloured folders; typography and motion tokens.
