Spent some quality time with my son today

Today, I helped ship native Portable Text tables in @sanity.io Studio: www.sanity.io/docs/changel... Portable Text always supported nested structures, but making them inline editable was a whole new beast, one we've been chipping at since vendoring Slate in Feb. Gonna talk more about this soon!

As expected, it was *incredibly* difficult to delete my Facebook account. However, after some UI debugging and browser switching, I finally succeeded, and it looks like 2026 is off to a flying start.

you’re right! it feels mostly awful to Go Online™, these days. the internet in a sad state, for reason after reason after reason. but there is a way to fix it; to trade the voidful howling for a quiet & joyful song. here’s how to win the war for the soul of the internet, and build the Web We Want.

You vibe-coded a site. Content lives in markdown. It works. Then your client asks for a login. The Sanity MCP Server lets your agent set up and manage a real content backend in the same conversation you used to build everything else. www.sanity.io/blog/sanity-...

You’ll need a CMS eventually. Let your agent set it up. | Sanity

With the Sanity MCP server, your AI agent can now create schemas, content, and editorial interfaces from prompts.

error TS6133: 'someVariable' is declared but its value is never read. That's terrible. Better fail the whole build immediately.

Maybe a 🌶️ take, but I generally don't like this trick. If one of your default/known values changes - e.g., "alert" is renamed to "warning" - your call sites won't break, and subtle, hard-to-discover bugs can be introduced. Any string is allowed, remember?

Neat little TypeScript trick: If you have a string or number type that you have some default/known values for: type Role = "alert" | "alertdialog" | string TypeScript will simplify the type to just: Role: string However if you wrap it like `string & {}` you'll preserve the autocompletions

It's so good. And... psst... guess what's driving the behaviours in and around the code block: www.portabletext.org/concepts/beh...

We just rolled out code block support for Sanity Create. With support for more than 200 programming languages. Give it a spin on www.saniy.io/app/create

Looks like last.fm still doesn't offer a way to export your data. So... I guess I might as well revive my 20-year-old account for the second(?) time! Do you have one? www.last.fm/user/christi... (I want to listen to more music again, and maybe this can be a weird sort of motivation.)

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.

Simeon Griggs@simeongriggs.dev · last yr.

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

Very soon, you'll be able to hear @simeongriggs.dev and me talk about the Portable Text Editor—the challenges behind the scenes, as well as the cool new APIs we're cooking up.

Simeon Griggs@simeongriggs.dev · last yr.

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

The Behavior API for @sanity.io's Portable Text Editor will allow you to configure the editor in ways that where previously not possible. Behaviors can be bundled in Plugins to easily turn them on and off. Here's an example of a simple <OneLinePlugin /> that restricts the editor to one block.

So cool that we can finally ship this as the first step towards a more pleasant and modern writing experience in the @sanity.io Studio. For the interested, here's a link to the source code of the markdown behaviours found in the Portable Text Editor repository: github.com/portabletext...

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

Opened up my work laptop after almost two weeks off and this is the first thing that meets me. I guess I left in the middle of a debug session?

Setting up a WYSIWYG editor in React is new to me—and a real neat UI challenge at the same time. Build this with Tailwind, Typography & Headless UI. That editing pane just has the `prose` class on it. Sick! 👏 @hamburger.cloud this is immense work! www.portabletext.org

So proud of this and can't wait to take it even further.

Building block content editors is notoriously hard—so we made ours available for everyone. Introducing the standalone Portable Text Editor with our new Behavior API (beta) and specialized testing tooling. See how it works: www.sanity.io/blog/a-block...

I wish GitHub (git?) was better at showing stacked diffs. Me: Let me carefully and surgically refactor this function in one commit and then rename it in the next commit GitHub: EVERYTHING CHANGED
