Vanguard

Earlier this year David Cramer and I started hacking on an internal blog we called Vanguard, which is our way of enabling the team to create permanence around notable moments at Sentry.

Vanguard is inspired by (and for a day or two, powered by) PlanetScale’s Beam. There are some holdovers in the design from where this began as a theme for it. Both I believe are inspired by GitHub’s internal Team app and solves the same problem for us at Sentry all these years later.

The Vanguard logo and various bits of copy around the app have a silly secret society vibe as I was watching a lot of Gravity Falls at the time.
