Synapify 0.8.0, the latest version of our visual RIDDL editor, is now available for macOS, Linux, and Windows.

What’s New

Graphical Editor

  • Redesigned content view — The graphical editor now shows a clean two-tier layout: a parent container with child definition icons inside it. The previous three-tier hierarchy with grandchild preview nodes has been removed for clarity.

  • Matching icon rendering — Definition nodes in the graph now display the same SVG icons used in the palette toolbar. What you drag is what you see.

  • Semantic icon colors — Icons are colorized by semantic category: blue for structural definitions (Domain, Context, Module), warm tones for behavioral (Entity, Handler, Saga, Function), green-teal for data (Type, State, Repository, Projector), purple for messaging (Streamlet, Adaptor), and pink-rose for user-facing (Epic, UseCase, Group, Author).

  • Count badges — Branch definitions show the number of child items beneath their name (e.g., “OrderContext (12)”).

  • Tooltips on hover — Hovering a definition icon shows its kind and brief description. Parent container tooltips appear when hovering near the title.

  • Configurable label position — A new “Content Editor” section in Settings lets you choose whether labels appear below, left, or right of icons.

  • Drop-position awareness — Definitions dragged from the palette now appear at the drop location rather than being randomly placed by the layout engine.

General

  • Enter key on splash screen — Pressing Enter on the splash screen now selects “Continue”, matching keyboard-first workflow expectations.
