Sanity is great until…

We’ve had a pretty good experience with Sanity, especially for content modeling and collaboration. The issue is that our setup still seems to need a developer for almost every change, and some of the less technical people on the team don’t feel comfortable using it on their own.

Has anyone moved from Sanity to something that gives content teams more independence without losing too much dev flexibility? Mainly looking for a CMS where people can update pages, create new ones, and publish without opening a dev ticket every time.

Brightspot just came out with a browser extension for editing and auditing live sites

Hi!

Brightspot just released a free Chrome extension called The Brightspot Toolkit. It connects a live website’s front end to the Brightspot CMS and gives content teams, marketers, SEO teams and developers a shared set of tools directly in the browser.

The main feature is click-to-edit. With one click, you can jump from a live page to its editable back end in Brightspot. This saves content teams from searching the CMS for the page they want to edit or asking a developer where a specific component lives.

The extension also includes tools for checking title tags, meta descriptions, links, heading structure, alt text and color contrast. You can review what information is available to search engines and LLMs, run accessibility checks based on WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines and see Core Web Vitals through Google PageSpeed Insights.

On the developer side, you can inspect structured content and raw JSON, review API responses, check Brightspot and front-end version information, capture HAR files and copy browser or device details for troubleshooting. There is also a QR code generator for quickly opening the page on another device.

The goal was to reduce some of the back-and-forth between the live site, the CMS, SEO tools, accessibility checkers and dev tools. Everyone can look at the same page and access the information they need from one panel.

It is currently available for Chrome and is free for Brightspot CMS users. It works best with Brightspot v5 and can also support headless Brightspot sites through a lightweight meta tag setup.

What tools do you usually have open when reviewing or troubleshooting a live page, and is there anything you would want added to an extension like this?
