Summary

Prismic has focused on enhancing the developer experience for building websites with modern frameworks like Next and Nuxt through the introduction and improvement of their local build tool, Slice Machine. This tool is designed to streamline the process of creating, editing, and previewing components and pages locally, significantly speeding up development by providing code snippets, mock data, and a local preview feature called Slice Simulator. The latest version, V0.2, addresses pain points by allowing Slices to be used across all Custom Types, enabling more flexibility for content editors, and introducing versioned models that sync with code, ensuring a single source of truth for content modeling. This advancement empowers developers to build websites more efficiently and effectively, with greater flexibility and reduced risk of errors related to data model changes.
