It's fine to work with and there are some really nice things, but also some pretty major points of over-complexity for no apparent reason.
Considering some of the architectural choices within, I'm beginning to think Sanity[dot]io is ironically named.
Thanks. Nothing but smooth sailing!
I finally installed my own self-hosted instance of Gitea (about.gitea.com) and it's so good and so fast. I should have done this a long time ago. I really like Gitlab for a lot of reasons, but for 90% of my projects and especially solo work Gitea is fantastic.
Nothing is illegal on stolen I.P.
Good.
Provide context, tell them where your head is, what you're leaning toward or considering, and where your gaps are. Then ask "What do you think?"

It's like going to a realtor and saying "I want a house. What do you think?" That's not enough.
You need to provide some context and parameters. Where? How many bedrooms? Is it okay if it's bright orange and next to a landfill?
If you, as a leader or colleague, can't articulate the kind of feedback you're actually looking for then you're not ready to ask for it. If you don't know what you want, don't ask someone else to figure it out for you.
I've worked for CEOs with a habit of saying "give me something to react to" and "what do you think" without providing any other direction.
It's not a helpful or productive approach because, at best, it demands wasted cycles as your team tries to guess what you're really asking for.
Food for thought from Terrible Software (which I found via @stefanjudis.com 's excellent newsletter):
Stop asking "What do you think?" without including your own thinking and context first. You're just offloading your work to someone else.
It's fine to say today's web is better for some things than the early web - it is. But it's also a lot worse for many things.
Enshittification has so much juice because people are tired of quantity over quality while corps scrape your own efforts & sell them back to you. It's not about nostalgia.
In '95 I could search AltaVista for a research paper & get the actual thing with accurate sources etc.
Today I can search for it on Google & get an AI summary that's wildly incorrect beside promoted slop & ads, w/ the paper behind a paywall.
That's enshittification. It's not a mythical golden era.
But you don't have to be. Providers have fueled the mistaken idea that hosting your own stuff is hard, limited, and not cost effective. That just isn't true. Use them if they're a good fit, but also know that you don't have to.
So you don't want to hire a designer or a developer. That's a whole other discussion, but OK. Consider what happens a year or two later when you've spent all that time and effort and the platform increases pricing. Or is acquired, folds, or has a string of outages (hi, Webflow). You're locked in.
Way too many people gleefully throw themselves into vendor lock-in for their sites and infrastructure. Maybe that no-code SaaS platform is great for you, but I implore you to first ask yourselves if you'll ever want to move your data, price shop other providers, or scale up beyond the basics.
When you choose to use your magic for evil.
I dont do much multiplayer other than some random requests I get to join teams when I'm in the Anomoly. I think multiplayer is fun, especially with friends. Although it's definitely not the primary feature of the game.
This should make your blood boil. Please contact your reps (@resist.bot is a great way to do it) and keep the pressure on to stop this.
No kid, no matter where they or their parents are from, should be imprisoned like this.
It's fantastic. I played on day one for a very short while, then picked it back up about a year ago and haven't stopped. I'd say if you have even the slightest interest then it's worth jumping back in. Worth it for the corvette update alone.
Look at this horror show. This is just one span tag from high-profile production site. I won't say Tailwind is inherently bad, but it sure is a crutch that's used poorly more often than not.
I built it to make things easier with my monk character, and have been using it with others since. Hope it's helpful!
I built a free #dnd tool that lets you add all of your character's available actions, set how many actions you can use per turn, and then easily plan your next turn. Runs in any browser (including your phone), no login or sign-up.

Thank you, Chris. You've shown me that — as awkward as I thought it was — my annual dookie-in-a-box test could be worse.
Arrow size is fine, so long as it's consistent with the other arrows or similar iconography elsewhere in the UI. So, IMO, it's less about size relative to text, and more about alignment and consistency.
Two things:
1) Ads shoved everywhere because the site isn't able to monetize some other way. Likely because content is garbage.
2) People making those pages are NOT designers. They're just poorly using tools like toddlers stumbling in the dark with a hammer. Actual designers are appalled by this.
Yes, very gay. But if you really want to enrage the fascists use Noto Sans or some other variable font. That's like, turbo gay.
It's the tail end of 2025 and I'm still seeing UI's with iconography that isn't descriptive at all. I have no idea what that weird box with an off-center circle inside is supposed to mean. "But it's our brand style." Then your brand style is a lack of clarity. Be clear first, then be fancy.
