Founding Bot X 0.2.0
Released October 20, 2026. All releases
Founding Bot X
- Founding Bot Connect checks that your other devices can reach this computer.
foundingbot-x connect status, the end offoundingbot-x connectsetup, and Settings → Connections say whether the computer is reachable and, if not, which part fails and how to fix it, with a link to the new Founding Bot Connect troubleshooting guide. - Founding Bot Connect answers faster: its servers now run next to its database. This is already live for every version.
foundingbot-x doctornames the old database file it can delete (state.sqlite) instead of a version number.
New
- Run iOS Simulators in Expo's cloud: add an EAS Simulator host in Settings → Integrations. Sessions bill your Expo account, so each host limits how many run and for how long.
- Every pull request's +/− count shows how much is code, tests, and docs, without waiting for a hover.
- Adding a project to another machine takes you straight to it.
Fixes
- When a computer stops answering because it froze or is overloaded, the app says so instead of blaming your network or DNS.
- Snoozed threads stay hidden while their agent wakes for background work.
- Updates remove old runtimes nothing uses, instead of keeping every version on disk.
- Settings save again when the writing style has default fields.
- HTML visualizations show their full height instead of cropping and scrolling.
- Downloads in the built-in browser no longer echo the contents of
data:links.
Rolled back
Two changes from 0.1.3 are withdrawn for more testing: the connecting screen while the desktop app's server starts (it still shows for WSL), and half-screen tiling on scaled displays.
Upgrading
Update from 0.1.3 as usual: the desktop app updates itself, and foundingbot-x update updates the command line.
