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!

If you use VSCodium, Coder, Gitpod or another editor with VSCode-compatible extensions, you can now install the XState VSCode extension from the Open VSX Registry.

Around a month ago, we released TypeScript Typegen - an enormous upgrade to the TypeScript experience for XState.

We’ve had a great response to it so far, but it’s only been available for VSCode users.

Until now. With our new XState CLI, you can get Typegen from the command line.

Modelling using statecharts changed my career as a dev. Of all the state management solutions I’ve tried, it feels the most complete, logical and robust. Even if you don’t use them in your app’s code, statecharts let you break down complex features into states, events, services, actions and guards.
