What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Glimpse's $10M Series A to Rescue CPG Margins
For many consumers, the grocery aisle is the avatar of post-COVID inflation. Even as headline inflation has cooled (from 9.1% in June of 2022 to 2.8% in February of 2025), food prices remain stubbornly high, driving popular perceptions of gouging. $10 egg cartons, once confined to artisanal producers in Portland who know every hen by name, have hit big box stores. But grocery is a famously low-margin industry, and for CPG brands, the cost of doing business can be prohibitive.

The AI Services Wave: Lessons from Palantir in The New Age of AI
Last month, the first company I co-founded, Palantir, joined the S&P 500. For most of 20 years, the naive mainstream view of Palantir was that it was a “glorified consultancy” – a services firm and not a real tech innovator building SaaS “products” or “platforms”. To dismiss Palantir early on was short-sighted, given they’d hired some of Silicon Valley’s top tech talent, but it was based on a factual observation: unlike most software businesses, many of our engineers spent significant time working alongside our customers. We called this team “Forward Deployed Engineers”, and they obsessed over the intricacies of our customers’ daily work, business models, and pain points.

Michel Tricot (Airbyte) Fireside Chat
Our story is certainly full of ups and downs. Airbyte today is often associated with our open source data infrastructure project and product. It really started though in July 2019 when my co-founder and I first decided to build something together. We implemented a fairly disciplined system around idea exploration and honed in on the problem-space of data and went through YC in January ‘20, which was the famous COVID batch where we went from being in person to fully remote.

Announcing Twingate’s Series B Funding Round
Earlier this week, Twingate announced their $42 million Series B, led by BOND. It has been an absolute pleasure working with the Twingate team since day one when we co-led their seed and Series A rounds. It has been wonderful watching the team bring the zero trust vision to network security and we wanted to share some of the thinking around why we believe the opportunity and Twingate’s approach are truly special.
