I stopped using Safari @sanity.io because of wobbly spinners. Now I can use it again thanks to zoom banter & humans working together, & writing a @github.com PR _by hand_ (NO AI)! It didn't require convincing @jensimmons.bsky.social to add no-wobbles to Baseline 2027! www.sanity.io/engineering/...

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 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-...

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?

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.

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.

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

Seeing this in the XState release notes takes me back to when I was first introduced to XState back in 2017. Just a little functional, stateless JS library where Machines had a `.transition()` method to advance to the next state. Still love and use XState to this day. github.com/statelyai/xs...

import { transition } from 'xstate';

const [nextState, actions] = transition(actorLogic, currentState, event);
// Execute actions as needed

import { Machine } from 'xstate';

const lightMachine = Machine({
key: 'light',
initial: 'green',
states: {
green: {
on: {
TIMER: 'yellow',
}
},
yellow: {
on: {
TIMER: 'red',
}
},
red: {
on: {
TIMER: 'green',
}
}
}
});

const currentState = 'green';

const nextState = lightMachine
.transition(currentState, 'TIMER')
.value;

// => 'yellow'

One of the things I love about Gherkin is that it literally only takes seconds to add new scenarios if you have a good set of existing steps to use. Here, I've expanded a Scenario Outline with a few more examples to root out an edge I just found in github.com/portabletext....

"Testing is documenting" Especially if your tests are written in a human-readable language. I'm currently working on @sanity.io's text editor, and here Gherkin is working really well for documenting and keeping all the different behaviours in check. github.com/portabletext...
