We ship fast. Here's what landed in Archeo this week.

Hey there,

We move fast.

Not "we'll get to it in Q3" fast. We mean feedback lands on a Wednesday and a fix ships by Thursday. That's the kind of product we want to build, and this release is proof of it.

v1.1.2 is out now — and it's got some real improvements that change how you interact with the extension day to day.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE SIDEBAR REDESIGN

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Archeo now lives in Chrome's side panel — the persistent drawer on the right side of your browser.

This matters for a few reasons:

No more popup that closes every time you click away. The nav rail stays visible. You can archive a page, jump to History, open a Design Brief, and switch back to Tokens without the extension resetting on you.

It's a small change on paper. It feels like a big one in practice.

DESIGN BRIEFS — NOW WITH YOUR OWN AI KEY

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Design Briefs have always worked offline — no account, no API, just the extracted structure and design tokens from the live page.

But the AI-enhanced version (the one that writes out a proper reconstruction spec with design intent, component breakdown, and UX notes) now has a dead-simple activation path inside the panel.

Here's how it works:

1. Open the Brief panel

2. Hit "Use AI"

3. Pick Anthropic or OpenAI, paste your key, hit Test, then Save

4. Generate

That's it. Your key lives in local extension storage. We never see it. Archeo only sends the extracted brief context to your chosen provider when you explicitly trigger generation. The offline version still works without any key at all.

If you've been wanting to try the full brief output — this is the easiest it's ever been to set up.

WHAT ELSE LANDED IN v1.1.2

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

→ Capture Summary is now opt-in

After an archive completes, a dot badge lights up on the Summary button in the rail. Open it when you want it — it no longer auto-pops and interrupts your workflow.

→ Icon pack fully fixed

We audited every icon used across the extension against the actual pixel icon set and replaced 12 broken references. Every button and empty state now shows the right glyph.

→ Brief logic tightened

Tab switching, loading states, and the AI key flow all work cleanly now. The rendered brief appears immediately after generation rather than requiring a manual tab click.

→ Design System panel polished

The token browser, color swatches, and spacing bars all got tighter spacing and better visual hierarchy for the narrower sidebar context.

FROM THE COMMUNITY

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

We got our first 5-star review this week, and honestly — it made our day:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Exactly what I needed. I use Archeo to rip design systems from competitor sites and feed them into my Figma workflow. The token export alone saved me hours. Can't believe this isn't a $30/month SaaS."

That's why we build this.

If you've been using Archeo and it's been useful — a review goes a long way. It helps other designers, researchers, and developers find the tool. Five seconds of your time makes a real difference for us.
