Building Cabrillo College’s Drag-and-Drop Gutenberg + Gatsby Site

Cabrillo College, with 12,000 students, is the main community college serving Santa Cruz County in northern California. When Cabrillo was looking to rebuild their website, they wanted to use modern technology, deliver a scalable solution, and most importantly, capture the Cabrillo experience by empowering faculty and administrators responsible for its groups, departments, and institutions.

What Professional Gatsby Users Want

As Gatsby continues to be used for building larger and more complex sites, we are constantly asking our users and the community how we could improve. Among professional Gatsby developers, we tend to hear less about specific bugs and feature requests and more about qualities they want and need in their site -- faster load times, shorter publish times, and so on.

Mapping Your Closest Impossible Burger with Gatsby

Meat Analogues is a terrific punk band name. But it also describes one of the hottest current trends in food: plant-based protein products so realistic that they fool even hardcore carnivores, with a side of combatting climate change. Impossible Foods is one of the fastest growing alternative meat companies, particularly famous for their juicy and delicious Impossible Burgers. The company’s website wasn't helping hungry customers find their nearest Impossible Burger, though, so they turned to Gatsby to build an interactive mapping web app.
