this is the direction i've been wanting Netlify to go in for years! Netlify has done very well as an aggregator of frontend developers, and GraphQL is the perfect protocol to 1) build better tooling, which onegraph has a lot of ideas on, 2) commoditize their complements (https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/06/12/strategy-letter-v/).

i hope more updates keep coming (i want explorer in the UI! not the CLI!) but this is a positive start.

Thanks!

The whole flow works really, really well inside of vscode with the GraphQL extension - you get autocomplete, docs, etc. And upon save, it's that same as if you had edited it in the web UI. It should even be compatible with the GraphiQL explorer extension inside of vscode (though I haven't tried it yet) https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GabrielN...

And it's always tempting fate to say "we have more planned", but, well, we have more planned...
