Sanity
Sanity is a Content Operating System. It gives editors a real workspace. Studio is a customizable editing interface where your content team publishes without touching your repo or filing tickets. They can use built-in AI that researches the web, understands the content model, and handles the repetitive work (drafts, translations, metadata) so editors focus on editorial judgment. Content is structured data from the start, so agents work with typed fields, not raw text.

Show Description
Memories of Hawaii, people are not friction in the AI age, what do you pre-load for a flight, can you get rid of the CMS with AI involved, Dave's dream for a custom VS Code machine, CommonRSS follow up conversation, the hype for ATProto, and picking music apps for a family.
