    Sanity Studio – Rapidly configure content workspaces powered by structured content

  • Headless CMS seem to be an interesting approach. I've had some success lately with Sanity [0] which I enjoy [1] a bit more than other Headless CMS because of their data lake and CDN.

    Just this week-end, a friend had an idea that he wanted to make a list of healthy products. I suggested Google Sheets as a starting 'database' and see where we move from there. He had some issues with inserting images to it though so I just created a sanity.io project. I think we were good to go in about 20 minutes.

    The next steps are to:

    A - Build mobile app

    B - Actually move the data from Sanity to a self hosted CDN

    [1] I don't work for Sanity, but I'm also not a stranger to them.

  • Devise

    Flexible authentication solution for Rails with Warden.

  • For speed I'd look at Ruby on Rails.

    The way it's been explained to me, Rails packages (gems) are like prefab bathrooms and kitchens. Compared to e.g., Node.js packages which provide things like "sink" and "tap" and "door handle."

    E.g., in Rails there's a popular auth package that includes password reset and recovery functionality:

    https://github.com/heartcombo/devise

    Always a pain to build, and not something these popular Node.js packages save you from doing over and over again:

    http://www.passportjs.org/

    https://next-auth.js.org/

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
