We're excited to announce a significant upgrade to the API Explorer in the Encore Platform ([app.encore.dev](http://app.encore.dev/))! Thanks to your feedback, we've made these changes for a more seamless workflow:

• Fuzzy search endpoints with ⌘ + K - find what you need, fast!
• Enhanced sidebar navigation - get a better overview at a glance
• Upgraded endpoint testing - save authentication data with ease
• Handy cross-links - view pre-filtered traces & flow diagrams per service/endpoint
• UI facelift & bugfixes - enjoy a cleaner look and smoother experience
• Services & endpoints now get dedicated urls - preparing for future content

Here's some of what we're considering next — let us know if it sounds valuable (or not):

• Cross-linking to code for easy lookups
• A widget displaying the last few traces per endpoint
• Stats & metrics per service/endpoint
