+*This was originally sent as an email.*
+
+Happy summer, Tanglers! While the rest of Europe vacations, we've been busy
+shipping. Quality of life improvements like Focus Mode, a whole new CI engine
+powered by microVMs, code search and a revamped timeline page. Lots to cover,
+let's get into it!
+
+## Code search
+
+![Code Search feature
+card](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:wshs7t2adsemcrrd4snkeqli/bafkreiba3x4mrqegrtost4vlddfbhbbza7jxeof6q3odflpxf77hdfu2fa@jpeg)
+
+Full-text code search is here. You can now search for code across the
+*entire* Tangled network, and yes, regex is supported. :)
+
+Try it here [in our monorepo](https://tangled.org/tangled.org/core/search)!
+
+## Focus mode
+
+![Focus Mode feature

+
+Focus Mode is a new way to clear notifications: lock in and knock out your list
+one item at a time, with a task bar that nudges you to stay on track until the
+queue is empty.
+
+## Experimental XRPC API
+
+![Experimental API feature

+
+The Tangled XRPC API is live. An experimental API (using the [AT Protocol XRPC
+format](https://atproto.com/specs/xrpc)) to query Tangled is now available at
+[api.tangled.org](https://api.tangled.org). Give it a spin:
+
+```
+λ curl https://api.tangled.org/xrpc/sh.tangled.repo.listRepos?subject=did:plc:wshs7t2adsemcrrd4snkeqli | jq
+```
+
+You can browse the available lexicons in the monorepo, more docs to follow.
+
+## A new home
+
+![New Home feature
+card](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:wshs7t2adsemcrrd4snkeqli/bafkreife4l2m4gpwb33sngzxcmybqnnhqguuxaeuy56qf4lo2py5tndsza@jpeg)
+
+The homepage now uses a brand-new three-column layout: Notifications and
+Recents on the left, your Timeline (Global / Following) in the middle, and
+Trending, Announcements, and more on the right. We hope you like the improved
+information density just as much as we do!
+
+## MicroVM-powered CI
+
+![MicroVM CI feature
+card](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:wshs7t2adsemcrrd4snkeqli/bafkreidwylh22aw2ctoij324ag2pjm2qfg4oep6jaok6wejghxebcfmscy@jpeg)
+
+Spindles can now run jobs inside NixOS/Alpine QEMU microVMs. That means you can
+build Docker containers or run services like Postgres directly in your CI
+workflows, each job isolated by default.
