Sanity.io is the platform for structured content. It comes with an open source editor which you can customize with React. Sanity.io comes with the tooling that lets you build structured content in React, Vue, and other front end technologies like Svelte. It has powerful APIs so that you can use the same content across any device, channel, or product.

You can even listen for changes in real time, and use the write APIs to patch and make new documents from code. You can get started for free on the standard plan, and add a credit card to pay as you go for usage over the generous standard quotas.

#236: Private by Default

Show Description

We've got a small feature update to talk about that's a big deal to some folks: private by default. For some people & teams, having everything private by default on CodePen is critical to their work. Chris & Marie talk about how we added this option and the steps we took to validate and notify users about the feature.
