Josh Miller confirms Dia’s Spaces is “headed to production soon”

Spaces in Dia might finally be close. Josh Miller, CEO of The Browser Company, just shared the clearest update yet on the feature that’s been at the top of many Dia users’ wishlists. After someone on X asked if there was anything exciting on the horizon, Miller replied with, “It’s in testing and headed to production soon.”

If you haven’t been following the story, Spaces is designed to let you organize browsing into separate workspaces. You could keep work tabs in one Space, personal browsing in another, and switch between them without everything getting mixed together. It’s one of the biggest features missing from Dia, and users have been asking for it since the browser launched.

There was reason to think it would already be here. Around the release of Dia 1.37.0, we reported that a moderator on the browser’s subreddit said Spaces had been pushed back to early July. That timeline came from the community, but July is now almost over, and the feature still hasn’t arrived.

Since then, Dia has continued to receive updates, but none of them included the feature people were waiting for. The recent Dia 1.41.0 release focused on smaller improvements, including tweaks to the Command Bar and the New Tab page.

That started wearing on some users. We also covered how parts of the community were questioning the browser’s priorities after several releases shipped with refinements instead of major additions. You can read more about that reaction in our report on Dia 1.40.1.

Miller’s latest comment doesn’t guarantee anything, but it does suggest that the feature is close to release, especially since it’s already in the “testing” phase.

That said, it’s probably still worth being cautious. We’ve already seen expected timelines slip once, and “soon” can mean very different things depending on where a feature is in development.

Still, this is the most promising update Dia users have had in weeks. If testing goes smoothly, Spaces may finally show up in one of the next releases.
