Welcome! Do you have a project setup on Convex?
Eg., have you figured how to store basic data in convex, use queries and mutations, etc.
Hi @Equitab , yes i do have the project setup on convex, i am able to send in strings and number. However, when it comes to images and files i am a bit unsure
I'd recommend starting with the storage docs, they do a good job of breaking down how to upload, store, serve, and delete files and images: https://docs.convex.dev/file-storage
File Storage | Convex Developer Hub
Store and serve files of any type.
They also include links to file storage examples. Here's a simple file storage app using queries and mutations: https://github.com/get-convex/convex-demos/tree/main/file-storage

Nextra: the next docs builder
Hi, I used Uploadthing in the past. What is Uploadstuff? What improvements brings it?
It is written on convex and the source code is available. It was a little project built by @Michal Srb to showcase file uploading with convex. I haven’t used it recently but the docs are great
Ok, just curious for future decisions on which one is the best for my convex app
I’d use uploadstuff for convex- and let us know if there’s anything to improve
