🔥 Latest Updates

v3.0.0 - Generator migrated to React ⚛️
February 18, 2026
⚛️ Architecture

🚀 MAJOR OVERHAUL: The GabaritKDP generator has been completely rewritten in React. The result: a fluid interface, near-instant response times and a radically improved user experience.

  • ⚡
    10x faster — The generator responds instantly to every action, no page reload
  • 🔄
    Real-time updates — Dimensions, spine and safe zones recalculate on the fly
  • 🎨
    Redesigned interface — Reactive components, smooth animations, premium visual experience
  • 📱
    Better mobile compatibility — The generator adapts perfectly to all screen sizes
  • 🔗
    Faster Canva integration — Canva OAuth import is even smoother with the new architecture
⚛️ Why React?
React enables ultra-reactive state management: every template parameter (format, pages, binding) updates the preview in real time, without ever reloading the page.
