The short version

Contentful Astro Starter worked like a charm. Some difficulty figuring out how to get the right API Key vs the Content token, but all very google-able roadblocks.

For reasons I won’t get into, I decided to start another Single-Page Application focused on promoting myself as an independent contractor. I used Github Copilot, which recommended using React. I went in with a mindset of vibe-coding the whole thing, and in the process ended upgrading my nodejs version.

That gave me the idea to revisit my roadblock from yesterday, and this time npm audit fix –force solved the problem. While I probably don’t need all the dev flexibility that Sanity brings to the table, I might want it in the future.
