Guide for contributing to the Sanity Studio UI experience as an external developer.

If someone wanted to contribute to the studio UI experience, is there a guide for how to contribute as someone outside of Sanity? 🙂

Hello ! I'm a web developer that recently discovered Sanity while searching for headless CMSs for my cousin's website, and I became a big fan 🙂. I very much enjoyed building with Sanity and I was very impressed at what Sanity Studio was capable of.
So I got a little curious and wanted to take a look at the internals of the studio, and so I went ahead and cloned the project and ran a couple of yarn commands that were suggested in CONTRIBUTING.md. It started a local studio on port 3333 but I don't seem to have a permission for that project (ID: ppsg7ml5).

So I was wondering if I should ask for the access permission or if this project is internal members only? And if it's internal only, how should people like me (potential outside contributors) set up a dev environment correctly?

Sorry for mentioning you in an old thread I found while searching with 'contributing' keyword in the channel
🙏.

User, you need to add your own project and then you can code your heart out 🙂

the documents/project is basically unimportant when it comes to working on the studio

ah okay thanks! That’s what I suspected but just wanted make sure that i wasn’t missing out on anything 😄 . Maybe it’d be better to add this as a note in CONTRIBUTING.md to avoid confusion? Or maybe i’m the only one who’s confused 😅 I don’t know. Anyways, thanks for the fast feedback! I very much appreciate it 👍

No issue at all, so far the question did not come up very often, but its a relevant question 😉 I will see if people will want to add that or leave the community to get into this from our side

sounds about right! Hey by the way thank you for building and open-sourcing an awesome product. I know i’d learn a lot by studying the source. Huge respect for all the devs at Sanity!
