They had this though? I'm similarly excited/relieved by this announcement.

At the start of summer you could still ask for any kind of file as an artifact and they would produce it and you could download it.

They they changed it to artifacts were only ever seen pages that you could share or view in the app.

Yes this is going to transform how I use Claude... BACK to the way I used it in June!

As a user this post is frustrating as hell to read because I've missed this feature so much, but at the same time thanks for giving it back I guess?
