What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

A Healthcare Excellence Agenda for the New Administration
In 2023, the U.S. federal government spent a staggering $1.5 trillion on healthcare, yet Americans are becoming unhealthier by key measures like obesity, maternal mortality, and life expectancy. This unsustainable trajectory not only undermines public health but threatens the fiscal future, with healthcare spending growing faster than the economy and consuming nearly 30% of the federal budget. Despite challenges, the path forward lies in incentivizing innovation, reforming payment structures, liberating healthcare data, and reducing fraud. By fostering a competitive, entrepreneurial healthcare system and embracing cutting-edge technologies like AI, the U.S. has the potential to improve health outcomes while controlling costs and ensuring a brighter, healthier future.

The AI Services Wave: Lessons from Palantir in The New Age of AI
Last month, the first company I co-founded, Palantir, joined the S&P 500. For most of 20 years, the naive mainstream view of Palantir was that it was a “glorified consultancy” – a services firm and not a real tech innovator building SaaS “products” or “platforms”. To dismiss Palantir early on was short-sighted, given they’d hired some of Silicon Valley’s top tech talent, but it was based on a factual observation: unlike most software businesses, many of our engineers spent significant time working alongside our customers. We called this team “Forward Deployed Engineers”, and they obsessed over the intricacies of our customers’ daily work, business models, and pain points.
