I strongly recommend building your learning platform on a Content Operating System. Authoring's done in the CMS, then rendered to 3 front ends and now populates 5 different views in this custom app for reporting + reviewing.

Suspense boundaries are for data, not layouts. Move your data fetching as close to where data will be rendered—deeper into components.

🌓 <Activity> is really cool with components that do their own data fetching! It's more than a visibility toggle, it maintains state and determines priority too. www.simeongriggs.dev/use-the-acti...

yo thanks!

Relax

You store your content as files in a repo. My CMS writes PRs. We are not the same.

We're super excited about the direction the vite team is heading here. Hopefully we'll see traction on the initiative to get React Compiler out of the babel pipeline github.com/oxc-project/...

👀 Sanity mentioned

🙋‍♂️ Sanity App SDK is my favorite thing we've launched and I've been forming some opinions about how you should use it. www.sanity.io/docs/app-sdk...

Subtle but very cool part of writing with Canvas is invoking a code block *with a specific syntax highlighter selected* 💅

First look! 👀 Your favorite content backend now has compute with @sanity.io functions. Configured with code. Deployed to Sanity.

Oh, your CMS doesn’t have compute? Awkward.

👀 First Look! Building content apps with the @sanity.io App SDK's headless hooks for content fetching and mutations. Optimistic, real-time, and fast. youtu.be/9HwYsI-ePFM

🌶️ "I don't think you should use Markdown as a content storage format" @knut.fyi on the latest episode of Code && Content

I've shipped over a dozen plugins and written thousands of words of tutorials on how to customize Sanity Studio. @sanity.io App SDK is the toolkit I have always wanted. www.sanity.io/blog/build-y...

discover what we have been baking. May 8 www.sanity.io/spring-relea...

Last week Evelina—one of Sanity's newest faces—joined me on Code && Content 👇 watch the full episode on YouTube youtu.be/2Q3XkYZ9yz0

✨ "Using these coordinates, create a new event, the title and description should use the local language" Custom content workflow with so little code 🤏 and it's [email protected] under the hood. 👀 Coming soon...

🥇 No one's making more ambitious developer content than @jason.energy so I picked his brains about it on Code && Content last week!

🙋‍♀️"Why can't I use my favorite database?" We get asked this a lot so I went straight to the top to find out from @sanity.io CTO @simensvale.bsky.social. Spoiler: the Content Lake is your new favorite database.

Dialing in the message with Evelina today in LDN. What's next at @sanity.io? Follow along and find out...

New long-form YouTube tutorial on building content-driven apps with just your voice, Cursor and @sanity.io is up now! 👇 Awesome watching folks other than engineers take the course and build with Sanity for the first time. The barrier to entry is so low now.

📣 AI models can't yet translate human needs into technical solutions—that's your job. Listen to this week's episode of Code && Content with @maggieappleton.com on YouTube or in your podcast player 👇 www.sanity.io/code-and-con...

We're a CMS, I promise. We just do stuff your dad's CMS doesn't. This screenshot is from Evelina's "what's new" wrap up for March, there's so much more! www.sanity.io/blog/what-s-...

Still writing React? So am I. Last week's Code && Content episode with @codey.bsky.social is out on YouTube and on your podcast player. youtu.be/7n1JmTAVjrU

Episode 02 of Code && Content goes live in a few hours, Cody joins me to talk all-things-React. Subscribe on YouTube or the podcast! 👇 www.sanity.io/code-and-con...

I've gotten to do a lot of rad things at Sanity, but rewriting the home page copy—to talk plainly and directly to folks like me—is way up there. The real work tho was by Lars and @msfragala.bsky.social to design + build this in <2 weeks! sanity.io?exp=variant

It really is a special feeling sitting in your car, listening to a podcast, as you've done so many times before, but this time YOU'RE THE GUEST! Thank you, @simeongriggs.dev, for inviting me on to talk about Portable Text, text editors, Behaviours, Gherkin and state machines and more.

Have you ever tried building a block editor? I never enjoyed it until the Portable Text Editor arrived, so I had to talk to the guy (@hamburger.cloud) who built it! Watch on YouTube or listen to the podcast: youtu.be/_m_yyQ2HAZc

Testing the experimental new React 19 `<ViewTransition />` component with @hamburger.cloud's awesome PortableText Editor playground to see how it can animate complex content. Super impressed!!! 💖 We'll definitely build on top of this for www.sanity.io/live 😍

This podcast thing is looking like a *real* podcast thing

👋 Time to talk content! I'm starting a new podcast for conversations at the intersection of code and content called ... Code && Content!

New course on Sanity Learn! From Jono @ Roboto Studio it's all about SEO + @sanity.io+ @nextjs.org, and it might just be simpler than you think! www.sanity.io/learn/course...

Cooking a @shadcn + Portable Text Editor demo for a video. There is so much about WYSIWYG behavior you take for granted until you start DIY'ing it.

When you store rich text and block content as a string you miss out on doing stuff like querying "extract every URL from every link in every post" ... I mean unless you want to regex it

My discover feed on this app is only ever political. No matter how many times I press “less like this”

I have run at least 100km/week for 15 of the last 16 weeks 🫠

devs will see 10,000 words of content and say "that's a string"

One of those "finally!" features shipped in yesterday's Sanity Studio release. Markdown formatting shortcuts for the Portable Text Editor!

Over the break I was playing with useOptimistic, and the React Docs have this example which bugged me in three ways... 👇

Set ambitious goals and say them out loud

I did 1️⃣ personal-project thing over the break: update my blog home page to add all my YouTube videos, talks, courses, etc to the feed. www.simeongriggs.dev

Here’s my year in review blog post any questions?

My MacBook’s acting like it hasn’t been booted up all year

Kicking off 2025 writing PR's to fix my own crappy code from 2024 😤

2025: - Start a podcast - 1000 subs on YouTube - Low 3 marathon

I'm not alone on GitHub today, I see you @threepointone.bsky.social

Forget the physical box of cables, I'm paying Dropbox $120/yr to store archives of work from my graphic design days that I no longer have the apps to open. What if I just ... deleted it all🤔
