:xzibit: Convex in your TanStack Query
Yo dawg, I heard you liked TanStack Query so we put Convex queries in your TanStack Query so you can query while you query....
Question about the demo
📣 For those who haven't heard, we're working on a major integration and partnership with the TanStack project and TanStack Start in particular. We're super excited about what the combo of TanStack + Convex will enable.
We'll have more details soon, but check out a bit of a preview here: https://twitter.com/convex_dev/status/1816637195459133787
If you have any early questions, fire away. The team is working on this very very actively right now....
Absolutely killing it!
Hey @everyone! We’ve got an pretty packed update this week.

New limit
Quick update for ya'll: We've upped the free plan project limit from 5 to 20! ⏫
Thanks for building so many projects on Convex and all the continued feedback that makes the platform better!
The update is reflected on our pricing page: https://www.convex.dev/pricing...
**🪙 Isn't it nice to spend less money?
🪙 Isn't it nice to spend less money? Isn't it great to have a simpler platform with fewer 'gotchas' to worry about? 🤑
Of course! And we admit that Convex's rounding of database storage and bandwidth (and vector bandwidth) up to the nearest 1kB can at times be concerning, annoying, and possibly even actively expensive.
You spoke. We agreed. And so we got rid of it....

2023 Q4 retrospective
Hi all! Time to take a look back on the past quarter of engineering work and how we tracked on our goals. The focus of the past quarter was on core primitives we’re missing and involved a number of open-ended design questions.

Make Convex more composable/extensible by providing support for self-contained components that run in their own namespace but within the same transactional context as the caller....
Wrapping up the year at Convex
🎉 🎆 Happy New Year, @everyone ! 🎇 🥳
We wanted to share some thoughts about 2023, and preview what we're going to focus on in 2024. Convex is growing as a company and a platform, and that means we need to constantly reexamine our users' needs and our priorities. As things evolve, we're committed to staying really open with you all about how (we think 😁) we got here and what we're doing next.
In particular, we're so grateful for all of you in our early user community. We've learned so much from everyone over the last year, and that really has inspired us to keep our standards high and work really hard to make Convex a great project. Thank you. We're intending to do a lot more events and in-person stuff in 2024 so we have a chance to meet more of you. Stay tuned, @Wayne has a lot of plans brewing!...
