The core twist is a data-freshness system: each scholarship is tagged FRESH or NEEDS RE-VERIFICATION based on verification recency and deadline status, addressing stale scholarship data online. Built with Next.js, deployed on Vercel, and powered by Sanity's Workflows API, Functions, and App SDK. The author walks through build failures: a Vercel deployment that 404'd due to imports outside the web/ directory, an overcomplicated freshness rule later simplified, manually verifying an Italian scholarship's real data, discovering a famous Canadian scholarship was discontinued, and a leaked Sanity write token that was revoked and rotated. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
