Show Description

We're joined by 1/3 of Paravel, Trent Walton, to continue our How to Think Like a Front-End Developer series and talk about his thoughts on what the characteristics of a front-end developer are, caring about performance, and getting back to the grain of the web.

Sanity.io

[Sanity.io](https://synd.co/2RrxqaU) is a real-time hosted backend for structured content with a fully customizable Content Studio built in React. It comes with a powerful, but simple graph-oriented API and an awesome asset pipeline. Bring your own favorite frontend technology and get up and running by typing npm i -g @sanity/cli && sanity init in your command line. Get an upgraded forever free developer plan on [sanity.io/shoptalk](https://synd.co/2RrxqaU).

Netlify

Netlify makes web hosting eye-openingly easy. One way to do it is to just literally drag and drop a folder. Even better, connect a Git repo to a Netlify site and tell it what branch you want to watch, then any commits to that branch will automatically go live, even running your sites build as it does it. I heard one developer say "It's like someone actually designed hosting and deployment."
