Choosing a React Framework

Is their a guide or advice for choosing a React Framework I’ve been listening to the podcast which seems very opinionated about front end approaches and keeping it simple. However I’m new to React and it’s difficult to know the pluses and minuses of different frameworks...

"Database bandwidth" Discrepancy

Hi, I'm seeing a big discrepancy between the "database bandwidth" value displayed in: 1. The top table on the usage page (500.6 MB) 2. The aggregate "database bandwidth" of all my functions (8.47 MB) Both values are showing the usage only for today 18th Nov. I'm struggling to debug what led to the sharp increase in database bandwidth read, since the high database bandwidth is not showing up on the "per function breakdown" section. Could I get some help to understand this discrepancy? ...

Does Vercel charge bandwidth for Convex images?

My team’s building a messaging aspect to our Next.js app and this question came up: We’re pretty confident that Vercel bandwidth is charged for images in the /next directory. These are images distributed throughout the Vercel CDN. But do images in convex (file storage) get charged for Vercel bandwidth when displayed on the front end?...

Creating a new authAccount not with signIn of useAuthActions

Hey, I’m building a site with Nextjs and using convex. I want the admin of the site to be able to create the users (doesn’t matter the provider but either password, otp or resend). I managed to add new user but not in the authAccount table which is what I need for them to login by themselves after the admin of the site adds them. Thank you!...

How to handle the elapse of time for debounce logic in Convex?

I’m building the notification logic for direct messaging. My app is prelaunch, and I want to keep the notification logic simple for the MVP. For now, the logic should be based on data that's simple to gather, e.g. debounce time and read receipts. In the future, we may add more factors for the logic, e.g. user presence. And more notification types, e.g. native in-app notifications. The key challenge I’m facing in Convex is managing time-based logic to debounce email notifications. Ideally, the app delays notifications for a short period in order to group multiple messages into a single email. Below are my current potential approaches for debouncing. Which do you recommend?...

ShadCN Table Example with Convex Pagination/Filtering/Sorting

Does anyone have an example or can point me in the right direction of using a ShadCN table using a Convex pagination query with filtering, sorting and ordering, etc... i.e. not client side pagination/filtering/sorting using collect because I have hit the 8MiB limit so I cannot get all the records upfront unfortunately. Thanks in advance.

Guidance on properly cascading deletions

I'm working on converting the Ents SaaS Next.js Starter ( https://www.convex.dev/templates/ents-saas-starter ) away from Ents, because other than Ents it has everything I wanted. To do this I was reading about Ents, and came across this article talking about the challenges of deletion: https://stack.convex.dev/ents#cascading-deletes-soft-deletion-and-scheduled-deletion . It says:

This makes deletion in general more challenging though. You can easily have a scenario where a document’s ID is stored in 1000s or even more other documents. Deleting all of these documents in a single mutation, which is within a single transaction, is simply impossible, as it would require a long-lived transaction, grinding the whole database to a halt (something Convex does not allow, instead failing the mutation).

So in conventional Convex, what's the suggested way to cascade a delete? I would prefer my app to not fail at deleting a workspace only when it has a lot of content in it....

Running Convex locally while deploying to hosted plan

I'm building an open source project on top of Convex and I'd like to accept code contributions from others. Afaik the only way to enable this right now is to add every contributor as a paid seat on my Convex plan, and although I wish I had the project income to do that, we currently make $0 in revenue. Is it possible to enable people to spin up a local backend for Convex while still relying on the hosted/paid plan for production data and management?

Stable pagination

I am building an application and I need to add pagination to my tables but at the same time I don't want to have loading blinks when I apply filter. I followed this guide: "Help, my app is overreacting!". First when I added the stable it worked fine, but when I implemented the pagination it broke. I don't know what could be causing the problem. Has anyone have a similar problem?
