Hi - I'd like to use Convex for our own

Hi - I'd like to use Convex for our own product at our company and in a consulting capacity.

One of our clients has a SaaS aspect to their business but lacks technical expertise on their team, so interactive management dashboards (think custom Retool dashboards or Basedash) are a requirement.

How are people providing non-technical internal teams dashboards for managing their apps made with Convex?

Welcome! The dashboard is a great tool for folks that understand concepts but maybe aren't proficient developers. Apart from that, you can develop an app to manage convex data in the same exact way you'd develop any other app on Convex. I've done some work along these lines and used Tailwind UI's admin components to speed things along.

one more random idea, @David Alonso and the fireview team have threatened to build an adapter for convex one day.

yeah we're currently doing exactly this for Firestore developers at https://fireview.dev and when the apis that the Convex dashboard uses become available we'll be able to do something similar for Convex devs!
