error TS6133: 'someVariable' is declared but its value is never read.
That's terrible. Better fail the whole build immediately.

Maybe a 🌶️ take, but I generally don't like this trick. If one of your default/known values changes - e.g., "alert" is renamed to "warning" - your call sites won't break, and subtle, hard-to-discover bugs can be introduced. Any string is allowed, remember?
Neat little TypeScript trick:
If you have a string or number type that you have some default/known values for:
type Role = "alert" | "alertdialog" | string
TypeScript will simplify the type to just:
Role: string
However if you wrap it like `string & {}` you'll preserve the autocompletions

The Behavior API for @sanity.io's Portable Text Editor will allow you to configure the editor in ways that where previously not possible.
Behaviors can be bundled in Plugins to easily turn them on and off.

So cool that we can finally ship this as the first step towards a more pleasant and modern writing experience in the @sanity.io Studio.
For the interested, here's a link to the source code of the markdown behaviours found in the Portable Text Editor repository: github.com/portabletext...

Setting up a WYSIWYG editor in React is new to me—and a real neat UI challenge at the same time.
Build this with Tailwind, Typography & Headless UI. That editing pane just has the `prose` class on it. Sick!
👏 @hamburger.cloud this is immense work!

So proud of this and can't wait to take it even further.
Building block content editors is notoriously hard—so we made ours available for everyone.
Introducing the standalone Portable Text Editor with our new Behavior API (beta) and specialized testing tooling.
