      I wanted my editor to match the Vercel docs code blocks. Found a great theme by github.com/natemcgrady based on the Vercel ray.so theme, forked it, tweaked it to get closer to the docs, and added a light variant.
      
      Going to use it for all my demos, videos, and presentations. Works in VS and Cursor.
