On top of our usual minor improvements and bug fixes, we’ve got great new features to share with you in July!

XState can be used wherever JavaScript runs, whether on the backend or frontend. Because the code it creates can be visualized, it’s great at handling complex use cases - being able to see what a complex piece of code does can be extremely useful.

Let’s look at each use case one-by-one.

Our latest update to the XState VS Code extension has made it easy to enable file nesting for typegen files. But what is file nesting?

We’ve had a busy month and have plenty to share with you this June!

What’s new to XState and Stately for May 2022?

A few weeks ago we uploaded a new video to the Stately YouTube channel showing how you can build basic video player functionality using XState and Stately tools. You can watch the video below or use the chapter links to jump to the chapter you want to watch.

This week we’ve added our Roadmap to the XState documentation.

Many of you have requested a roadmap to help you determine if it’s the right time to integrate XState and Stately tools into your team’s workflow. We’ve added a simple Roadmap so you know what we’re currently working on and what features are coming up soon.

We’re hiring for a frontend engineer, backend engineer, developer advocate and product designer at Stately. You can check out the Careers at Stately page on Notion.

Happy Wednesday! Time for our first Editor Changelog blog, where we’ll talk about the new updates we’ve shipped in the editor.

Last week we launched the new Stately homepage, which we hope will make it easy to understand what Stately and XState are and help you convince your team to use state machines.

You can watch us talk about the new design and its implementation during last week’s office hours. I’m particularly impressed by David’s SVG arrows!
