Docs feedback: CLERK_SECRET_KEY is not findable

This ~~critical~~ (edit: I'm not actually sure which scenarios it is required) environment variable, CLERK_SECRET_KEY, is not in plain text, so therefore not findable in documentation. It is burned into an image on https://docs.convex.dev/auth/clerk...

I just finished the tutorial and I have some questions

* Can Convex do local-first? Work offline and sync later? * Is it possible to run your own convex reactor? (Like github co-location) * Do companies need to worry about Convex having access to their data? * This is vendor lock-in, right? * What happens if you exceed the maximum quotas?...

I am using the Clerk, Convex template and the sign in flow on the frontend works on my local deployment. However, it does not work on the deployment that we have on AWS Amplify. Is there a configuration that we are missing causing this issue? Here is a screenshot of the env variables configured within Amplify

Getting current user id in mutation

Hi! I'm trying to post a comment related to defined item. I pass itemId as an argument but i want to use current user's id as a comment author. I've configured simple password login. I could see in database that fields i used in withIndex are equal but i couldnt pass identity.subject as is as it is not Id<users> field. thus query returns empty array. How to do this correctly? Should I use users collection instead of authAccounts? ...

Next.js 15 (Canary) - Issue with Convex Auth Context

I'm using Next.js 15 (canary version), and everything works fine most of the time. However, occasionally after a hard reload, the middleware indicates the user is authenticated, but mutations fail because the ctx.user is undefined. For example, inside a mutation: ... const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx) ... returns undefined, This issue seems to resolve itself after a few refreshes....

Ignoring _generated in pull requests/git diff

Hey, does anybody know how to do this? It's suggested to not gitignore the _generated files for CI/CD reasons (and we concur with this), but we would still like to not have the files show up in our diffs for pull requests. We tried putting the belowin a .gitattributes file, but seems like that doesnt apply to github pull requests. Anybody have some advice for this? Thanks! 🇩🇰 ```/convex/_generated/* -diff...

CRDT for text editors

@ian what was the reason to choose automerge vs Yjs? I currently use Yjs to sync a react flow nested tree structure, where each node has a lot of data including many text editor blocks (currently using blocknote based on tiptap+prosemirror). But the Yjs sync with the react state manager became too complex and slow, and wanted to switch to convex for everything except the text editors to handle merges / conflicts better. And blocknote is not good for nested schemas (I want nested custom block types, some react RSC) so I need to switch to pure prosemirror or another CRDT text editor. ...

Currently, my query only returns items where the array exactly matches [categoryId], but I need it to return items where categoryId is one of potentially many elements in the array. Here's my current query: ```typescript...

Calculating average rating across a large dataset

Hello! I'm currently looking to build a feature that shows the average rating of a show based on entry logged by users. This is my first time approaching something like this Convex. I was wondering if there were any recommended solutions? I was looking into the Aggregate convex component to potential solve my problem. The only issue I've have with that approach is that a user can log an entry without rating it, but the sameValue does not accept undefined. ```ts export const animeStatsByEntry = new TableAggregate<{ Namespace: Id<'anime'>...
