I was running through the tutorial as we head down a path of building one app on Convex. The chat tutorial that the docs take you through does not allow you to send messages. Is anyone else having this issue?

Hey, I think you need to scroll up to see new messages.
We're changing how the app works initially, so this won't be so confusing soon.

ahh, now it makes sense
Yep fixing this is part of the exercise in the (relatively new) tutorial, but we agree this can feel broken and as @Michal Srb mentioned, we're actively working on changing this. Thanks for providing the feedback!
my thinking is that it is a content ordering issue.
but overall super cool
another thing I noticed is that when I went to look at the code and reverse the order, my initial instinct was to change the argument passed to the order function to
"asc" and that worked. I guess it is not exactly what you instructed users to do, but just some feedback.
I don't think this is like a super big deal but the first touch with your users is so important. It's the only reason I have spent so much time on understanding. I am very excited for Convex overall.(since we have a take(100), if you used "desc" you'd get the "first sent 100 messages" - but we have reworked this exercise altogether and will release the new version soon)
sounds great. Looking forward to it. When you do, please reignite this thread if you can remember. I will run through it again, very slowly, and take notes.
@Yes Boss Done, the tutorial has been updated! 😇
