This Month's Community SpotlightAnchor
So many people are using Hygraph to power their personal and professional projects. Creativity and flexibility are at the center of our community, and we want to take some time every other month to show off what our members are working on.
Art PortfolioAnchor

We can't help but be drawn into Ismay Wolff's art portfolio (see what we did there). His simple design pulls your focus right to his unique and captivating artwork. And it doesn't hurt that he relies on Hygraph for asset management and Next.js as his framework to keep his portfolio running smoothly.

Cadu de Castro Alves built a linktree clone for himself using Next.js, Hygraph, and Codesandbox. A seemingly simple idea, but brilliant execution and great way for people to find him and his work. We also can't help but love his dedication to staying safe with his avatar mask.
