New Explore page!
Please try it out, and give feedback and report bugs in the forums! Note that it may run a little slowly for now, but we have some ideas on how to improve the speed in the future.

Project Editor:
Changes to the way saving works - including the addition of a “save” button in the upper right corner of the editor that's active in between autosaves. We want to make sure we tell you if there's a problem saving your project (like if you lose your network connection), so you can save it locally. If you do end up losing some of your work, please post in the Bugs and Glitches forum to tell us how, so we can fix it!

Paint Editor:
Changed the default stroke width to 2 (half of the previous width).
Fixed a bug which caused stroke width and fill attributes from one element to be erroneously applied to others when selecting them.
Fixed bug where you could erase backdrop background strokes
Fixed issue where “clear” would completely clear backdrops
Fixes issue where you couldn't use a selection rectangle when editing a backdrop
Changed the eraser icon
Fixed a minor issue with bisecting the backdrop background
Pencil tool now smooths as you draw so that your drawing doesn't change once you stop drawing

We realize the paint editor still needs a lot of work! Look for improvements to fill function, and other fixes, early next week.

Yay

Yay! But why no Simulations tab?

I agree. The Explore page should have a tab for “simulations”.

I like the Explore page! This is a good update. However, pressing backspace while editing text deletes ALL of it, not just the last character.

I make so many simulations, It definitely should be a tab!

Ah - can you be more specific? Where are you editing text (and pressing back space)?

I am experiencing it too, when in project editor, and try to create text, Press backspace will delete all text

When I am in the paint editor and making text, I have a typo and try to correct it with the backspace key, but then the text box I am editing disappears and I have to start all over again.

When is the cloud variables ready?

I would like it if you could switch between tabs via AJAX…..

Thanks for the reports! This update is closed in favor of the next update thread.
