Changelog
2026-11-03: A darker dark mode
- Dark mode starts from near black. Containers sit on the page as tonal layers, each one step lighter, with hairlines close to their surface instead of outlines.
- Type is white on black, with a mid-grey secondary tone. Light mode is the reverse: a white page, grey stages, white cards and near-black type.
- Cards, dialogs, menus, popovers and toasts share the new elevated tone. Cards take a slightly tighter corner.
2026-10-28: Agent surfaces and generative UI
- Thirteen new components, all prop-driven: Task List, Question Card, Reasoning Steps, Trace Waterfall, Chat Input, Message, Conversation, Chat History, Result Cards, Document Agent, Media Generation, Attachment and Marker.
- The components index is grouped by how an AI product is built: Agents, Generative UI, Content, then the base layer.
- New and Updated badges in the sidebar.
- The index previews adapt to narrow widths.
2026-09-30: A landing page and a browser
- The kit is now called Halaska UI.
- The site is now a landing page plus a docs-style browser, with a page for every screen, pattern and component.
- Both example screens have a mobile layout. Pass layout="mobile" to use it.
- Accessibility pass: dialogs trap focus and close on Escape, checkboxes and radios work from the keyboard, menus, tabs and selects take arrow keys, and status components carry roles.
- Every section has its own address, and a copy-link control.
- Floating pattern content now sits in a card instead of loose on the stage.
2026-09-29: Agentic navigation
- New pattern group: Contextual taskbar and Spaces and agents.
- The contextual bar resizes to its content and separates agent suggestions from your own actions.
2026-09-25: Shorter install prompt
- The install prompt is five lines. The detail moved to a hosted guide the agent reads.
- Violet is the default accent.
2026-09-10: 1.0.0
- First public release: 38 patterns in five lifecycle groups, two example screens, around 100 components.
- Phone layout, runtime typeface and motion switching, and a before and after comparison.
