What's new in SnapHost.

A running log of everything we ship, from brand new capabilities to the small fixes that make the product feel right.

  1. v1.14NewOctober 2026

    Auto-refresh on update

    • A new per-site setting, Auto-refresh on update, moves anyone who has the site open to the new version the moment you publish it. Left off, as before, they see a small “A new version is available” prompt and refresh when they choose.
    • Meant for dashboards, status pages and anything a team keeps open on a screen. It stays off by default, because a reader partway through a long document should not have the page move under them.
    • Turn it on from the site’s Advanced settings, from an agent with set_render_options (auto_refresh), or from the API.
  2. v1.13NewOctober 2026

    A React component runs as a page

    • Drop in a single .tsx or .jsx, the file an AI hands you from a chat (a Claude artifact, a ChatGPT canvas, a v0 export), and it opens as a working page. SnapHost compiles it when you publish, bundles in the libraries it imports and generates the Tailwind styles it uses, so the page carries everything it needs.
    • A component may import react, react-dom, recharts, lucide-react, d3, framer-motion and the @radix-ui/react-* primitives, each at one pinned version. Anything else is refused by name, the page loads nothing from anywhere, and it runs in the same sandbox as every other site.
    • A .tsx or .jsx without a default export is a code listing, as before.
  3. v1.12NewOctober 2026

    Mermaid diagrams

    • Drop in a .mmd or .mermaid file and it opens as a picture. Flowcharts, sequence diagrams and class diagrams are drawn to SVG when you publish, fit the window, and open at full size on a click; the SVG and the text behind it are both there to download.
    • The drawing is made on our side, from the text, with nothing of Mermaid running in a reader’s browser: the page carries no diagram code and loads nothing from anywhere else. A diagram that cannot be read is refused with the line that stopped it, so nothing half-drawn is ever published.
    • Other Mermaid diagram types are not drawn yet; the publish says so and names the type.
  4. v1.11NewOctober 2026

    Word, PowerPoint, Excel and more

    • Drop in a .docx, a .pptx or an .xlsx and it opens as a real page. A Word file becomes a readable document; a deck is paged through with a grid and full screen; a workbook keeps its sheets, frozen headers, merged cells and the numbers formatted the way they were set.
    • CSV and TSV files, single images, video and audio, and text or code files (JSON, YAML, Python, TypeScript and the rest) get a viewer of their own too.
    • A Word, PowerPoint or Excel file stays off the page unless you choose to let readers download it, because it holds what the page never shows: speaker notes, hidden slides, sheets, rows and columns, formulas, comments and tracked changes; a site that offers its file can stop doing so from its page, without another upload. A CSV, image, video, audio or text file is its page and travels with it; a Markdown file or notebook becomes its page and has no download. A link to a deck or workbook carries the slide or sheet it was copied on. Everything renders once, at publish time, inside the same sandbox as before.
  5. v1.10ImprovedSeptember 2026

    Personal space and workspaces

    • Your free personal space is just you. A Pro workspace is where a project lives: its own handle and subdomain, drives, people if you want them, and its own invoice. Create one per project, and switch between them from the top of the sidebar.
    • What we used to call a team is now a workspace, because one person can have one, and one person can have several. The people in it are still members, admins and viewers.
    • Old links to the Team pages keep working; they now open the workspace pages.
  6. v1.9ImprovedSeptember 2026

    Pro comes as its own workspace

    • Your personal account is free, always. Pro is for you alone or a whole team: choosing it sets up your Pro workspace, with you as its first paid member, so one person is never paid for twice.
    • A team is where the handle, name, logo, members and one invoice live. Being a paid member of someone else’s team costs your personal account nothing.
    • Already on Pro with a personal account? You keep it, and its price, for as long as you like. Once you move to Free that account cannot return to Pro; create a workspace instead.
  7. v1.8ImprovedSeptember 2026

    Two plans: Free and Pro, priced per member

    • Pro is €19 per member per month: your own subdomain, folder routing, member roles, and 5 GB of data storage.
    • A team is billed for the people who can publish. Inviting a member adds a seat that day, prorated; removing one takes it off. No more buying seats ahead.
    • A new viewer role: invite as many people as you like to open what is shared with them, for free.
    • Workspaces on the old Organization plan are moved to Pro: the same workspace, at €19 per member instead of €25.
    • Organisations that need a data-processing agreement, a security review, their own domain or one annual invoice can contact us for Enterprise: a fixed platform fee plus Pro seats.
  8. v1.7NewJune 2026

    SnapHost Data: a backend for your sites

    • Published pages can now save and read data with no server, through the injected window.SNAPHOST SDK.
    • Build contact forms, waitlists, RSVPs, guestbooks, counters, and leaderboards straight from your HTML.
    • Define a structure for each collection, browse and moderate entries, and control who can read them.
    • Manage it all from your AI assistant over MCP, or from the Data tab. Available on Pro.
  9. v1.6NewJune 2026

    Teams, shared drives, and per-member sharing

    • Create a team workspace with its own private-by-default drive, kept separate from your personal space.
    • Organize sites into folders on a shared drive, with viewer access that members inherit.
    • Share a folder or a single site with specific teammates, and manage roles from one place.
    • Every team gets its own subdomain, like acme.snaphost.ai, and a single invoice for all seats.
  10. v1.5NewJune 2026

    Connect your AI in one click

    • Every site now has a Connect panel with a single command to wire up your assistant.
    • A guided OAuth flow authorizes your assistant in the browser and points it at the MCP endpoint for you.
    • Install the SnapHost plugin for Claude Code and say /snaphost:publish or /snaphost:update instead of explaining the tools each time.
  11. v1.4NewMay 2026

    Bring your own domain on Pro

    • Bind a domain you own, like deck.acme.com or yoursite.com, to any published site instead of sites.snaphost.ai.
    • Your domain stays live across updates, so links never change.
    • TLS is provisioned and renewed automatically the moment you connect a domain.
  12. v1.3NewApril 2026

    Let your AI publish through MCP

    • Connect the SnapHost MCP server so an assistant can create and update sites on its own.
    • Anyone already viewing a site is told a new version is available, one click on Refresh away.
    • Scoped API tokens for scripted publishing from any pipeline.
  13. v1.2ImprovedMarch 2026

    Wildcard sharing and a clearer access log

    • Allow a whole team with a wildcard like *@acme.com.
    • The access log now separates requested, verified, viewed, and denied events.
    • Faster live previews on the site detail page.
  14. v1.1FixedFebruary 2026

    Sharper rendering and tighter sandboxing

    • Hardened the rendering sandbox so pages stay fully isolated.
    • Resolved a case where large bundles could be slow to first paint.
    • Improved email deliverability for viewer verification.
  15. v1.0NewJanuary 2026

    SnapHost is live

    • Turn any HTML, Markdown, or web bundle into a private, authenticated site.
    • Invite viewers by email and watch every access in real time.
    • Free and paid plans at launch.
