TWD 1.4.x is out – focused on Developer Experience

We’ve just released TWD 1.4.x, and this version is all about improving the developer experience while testing.

What’s new?

Better testing flow

The sidebar now remembers whether it was open or closed using session storage.
When you reload the page while testing, TWD brings you back to the same test, so you can continue right where you left off.

Custom theming

You can now theme the sidebar to match your product or brand colors.
This makes TWD feel more integrated into your app instead of a foreign tool.

New testing examples

We’ve added more real-world examples to show how TWD fits into modern apps:

React Router framework mode testing examples: https://twd.dev/frameworks.html#react-router-framework-mode
Auth0 authorization flow testing: https://github.com/BRIKEV/twd-auth0

shadcn/ui testing guide

If you’re using shadcn/ui, we also published a full guide showing how to test all its components using TWD: https://brikev.github.io/twd-shadcn/

This isn’t a massive release in terms of features, but it includes several UX and DX improvements, plus a refreshed default theme, to make day-to-day testing smoother and more pleasant.

As always, feedback is welcome.
