June 2025
3 Commits • 2 Features
Jun 1, 2025June 2025 focused on improving user onboarding, accessibility, and UI stability for Clerk.js. Key features delivered include a new OAuth Consent UI component to enable in-portal consent flows with clear scope/app details and user actions, and a visual regression testing framework using Playwright to guard UI consistency. A critical bug fix addressed an incorrect initial render for reduced motion by introducing a getInitialValue check for the prefers-reduced-motion media feature, improving first-render stability. The combined efforts reduce onboarding friction for third-party app connections, enhance accessibility, and establish automated UI quality checks for faster, safer releases.
