Payload can change the way you think about building applications @payloadcms @reactjs

team loves each other

So pumped for what’s next

What a day. @SeanZubrickas @PatKozak4

ICYMI: You can now group by distinct fields in @payloadcms. Suupper useful when querying large datasets. Credit to @r1tsuu__ for the findDistinct API!

I've always wanted to fix this. You can now toggle Live Preview in @payloadcms without losing your changes. Sooo much better!

This is a true full circle moment for me. My career started in design, not engineering. During that time I’ve used every design tool out there—including Figma. For me, learning to write code meant no design handoff. I could preserve my own design intent. For years I was building the very software that I was designing. That is why I put my heart and soul into Payload. To me it was always more than an application framework...it was a dev tool for backend design. But it really only solved this problem for those like me. Developers were far more efficient, but designers would still largely work in isolation. This is why I’m so excited to be joining Figma. Together we can build a tool where everyone collaborates seamlessly for the entirety of the product lifecycle. Looking back, I never imagined that I'd write more lines of code than I would edit vector graphics. But for me, design and code were never very separate to begin with. Now they’re closer than ever. We are so back 🔥

@RafaellLycan @payloadcms @ElliotHimself @JessRynkar The array field might be a good fit for this. It could contain two fields: a polymorphic relationship to the media itself (photos or videos), and a checkbox to denote whether this is the "main" item. A custom validation rule on the array could enforce the max of each type.

How do you create a decent media gallery definition/structure using @payloadcms collections? A Property (real estate) can have multiple "photos" (max 10) a single "mainPhoto" (from "photos") and "videos" (max 3) Any ideas/tips @elliothimself @jessrynkar @jacobsfletch 🙏

Just merged a major performance improvement to @payloadcms that changes how we render server components within arrays and blocks. Now, we precisely render only the rows that change instead of the entire field. Response sizes are up to 96% smaller and requests are 75% faster!

Just released: the ability to save filters and share them across your team. This was one of the most frequently requested features of @payloadcms.

@cgilly2fast @payloadcms Will make it into the next release, could be this week or early next.

Just added a progress bar to @payloadcms and it feels so much faster to navigate. React Suspense is great, but it meant rendering skeleton UI for full page transitions. This way users still get immediate visual feedback, plus the resulting page renders in its entirety.

@jonas @sanity_io @payloadcms With Payload you’d own and host your own data without building your SaaS on top of a SaaS

If I wanted to keep the content of my AI generated nextjs saas apps separate from the code, should I use @sanity_io or @payloadcms or something else? I want to minimise the amount of code the AI needs to produce for a fully functioning saas. And so things like re-use layouts, components etc between projects Ideally with wysiwyg editor to update content

Code-first is the new no-code

@JeremyEnglert @payloadcms Imagine @v0

Something not talked about enough. @payloadcms being fully configured with code means you’re really able to have AI scaffold a lot for you. Tell Cursor the collection you want and the fields you need and you’re set.

I first started learning @reactjs about 7 years ago and @nextjs shortly after. These are two open-source projects that I greatly admire, and now @payloadcms is outpacing both of them on @github. But this is only the beginning—we have big things planned for 2025. Buckle up.
