About
Developer Grind is a full-stack developer blog platform built around a CMS-backed publishing workflow. The project focuses on making articles easy to write, discover, and discuss while still giving the admin control over what appears publicly.
The app uses Sanity CMS for structured content, Next.js for the application layer, and Tailwind CSS for responsive styling. It also includes authentication and a comment workflow where comments are only rendered after admin approval.
Features
- Rich text support for long-form technical blogs
- Search functionality for browsing articles
- Authentication for user-specific actions
- Comment submission and moderation
- Admin approval before comments are displayed publicly
Tech Stack
- Next.js 13
- Tailwind CSS
- Sanity CMS v2

What I Learned
This project helped me understand how CMS-backed applications are structured, especially when public content and moderation workflows need to work together. It also gave me practical experience with Sanity schemas, typed frontend integration, and building a cleaner editorial flow.
