V0: Redesigned Sidebar with Project Grouping and Persistent Resizing
V0V0 rebuilt its sidebar to make navigating large numbers of chats and projects easier. Chats are now grouped by project and ordered by recent activity, the sidebar can be resized to a width that persists across sessions, and right-click context menus give quick access to chat and project actions. A new favicon badge signals when a chat has finished streaming or needs input, and archiving replaces permanent deletion so old chats can be recovered later.
Key Takeaways
- V0's sidebar now groups chats by project and sorts them by recent activity, replacing the old flat chronological list.
- Sidebar width is now resizable and persistent, staying at the chosen size across sessions instead of resetting.
- A new favicon badge notifies users in the browser tab when a chat finishes generating or needs input, useful for background monitoring.
- Chats are now archived instead of deleted, giving users a way to recover accidentally removed work.
- Right-click context menus on chats and projects streamline common actions like renaming or archiving.
- The redesign signals V0 is optimizing for power users managing many concurrent projects, not just single-session prototyping.
A Sidebar Built for Heavier Workloads
V0 shipped a redesigned sidebar aimed at users juggling many concurrent projects and chats. As v0 usage scales from one-off prototypes to ongoing product work, the flat, unsorted chat list became harder to navigate — this update addresses that directly.
Project Grouping and Resizing
Chats are now grouped by the project they belong to and sorted by recent activity, so the most relevant work always surfaces near the top. The sidebar itself is resizable, and V0 now remembers the chosen width across sessions, letting users with wide monitors or long project names permanently expand it instead of resetting the layout on every visit.
Faster Navigation and Cleanup
Right-click context menus are now available directly on chats and projects, giving quick access to common actions without leaving the sidebar. A new favicon badge appears in the browser tab when a chat finishes streaming a result or is waiting on user input, making it easier to monitor long-running generations from another tab.
Archiving Instead of Deleting
Perhaps the most user-facing change: removing a chat now archives it rather than permanently deleting it. This gives users a safety net against accidental removal of chat history and generated code.
