It's great to come back to the Community Digest! There has been a lot of great stuff shared by the community and we'll go over a handful of those in this digest. If you would like to be featured in the digest, head on over to Sanity Exchange, create a profile, and share your Sanity projects. We would love to check them out.
Remember, all the contributions shared can be found in two places:
What has Sanity shared or launched since the last digest we published in January of 2021?
Let's now take a look at what the community has shared in the Sanity Exchange!
Figma can be found twice in the project showcase section of the Sanity Exchange. Both projects were shared by Corey Ward:

Last year. the tech world was blessed with the brilliant course, Master Gatsby by Wes Bos. This course taught people all the core concepts of Gatsby and covers a number of things, including:
Head on over to Slick's Slices project page where you'll find screenshots of what you'll build in the course, details about the app, and the full GitHub repo for the project.
The best way to learn something is to practice, practice, practice.
We have groq.dev where you can use preset data and run any GROQ query on it to see what it would return. Another way to practice is by using the Vision plugin within your Studio to query your own Content Lake.
The newest way is community created and it has a pretty cool theme.
As shared by Abraham A. Agung, we get the interactive way to learn GROQ using characters based on Game of Thrones called very cleverly: GROQ of Thrones. There are 10 lessons, can you GROQ all of them?
Another honorable mention when getting started with GROQ is the 45-minute walk-through with Henrique Doro. This course takes you through 10 lessons where you'll learn just about everything you need to know when getting up and running with your GROQ knowledge.
Cloudflare wanted a way to display all of the projects across the web that use Cloudflare's Workers tool. Thus the Cloudflare Workers microsite was created! Using Gatsby and Sanity, they were able to have bandwidth-friendly images, content modeling, and the ability to create custom layouts.
Not only does this site show the benefits of Workers, but the "Built With" section showcases the numerous sites built with them.
As shared on the Projects page by Kristian Freeman, we are honored to be helping showcase these amazing projects.
When learning how to code, understanding elements of code, or trying to level up your knowledge, Egghead courses are a great resource for lessons and courses. You can find a large list of topics to choose from like React, Next.js, 11ty, and soon-to-be Sanity. (Keep an eye out for our "Intro to GROQ" course from our very own, Knut)
Recently shared by Joel Hooks, we are excited to be behind the scenes of this website that helps so many developers grow.
