> Livecoding my own Dev.to CMS with Next.js + Preact + TypeScript + Tailwind UI

As someone who uses [Dev.to as a headless CMS](https://www.swyx.io/writing/devto-cms/), I feel a lot of personal pain points with the very simple default editor we get in Dev.to. I figured I would try a personal project with all new tech that I know some things about but haven't built anything serious with:

- Preact
- Next.js
- TailwindCSS

And done in TypeScript because that's how I roll.

[Here is my first livestream of that!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR2xZbViyks&feature=youtu.be) Had a slow start but got a lot done in 90 minutes.
