I built QueerCade — a curated arcade of LGBTQ+ video games — through both paths of the Sanity challenge. One dataset powers all of it.

The QueerCade Discovery Guide is an AI agent that recommends games, characters, developers, and studios — answering only from the Sanity dataset (3,500+ documents). It never invents a game; if something isn't in the data, it says so.

The arcade itself: a retro 8-bit pixel-art storefront with the Queer Character Constellation (870+ LGBTQ+ characters plotted as stars across decades) and the Emoji Game Oracle. Every screen, filter, and graph reads from Sanity via GROQ — no other content database.

One content lake, three experiences: a storefront, an MCP-queryable agent, and a celestial graph. Built on Sanity.
