Complete beginner here...help? please :D
Hi all, so I'm extremely new to this, and essentially I'm trying to create an App (using a0.dev) which is almost done, but I want information that is submitted through the app to be saved in a backend database. I need help setting it up, I'm getting stuck and can't seem to get past what I need to. Would love some advice on how to bring it to life.

Thank you!
Do you have any coding experience, and what have you tried so far?
Literally nothing! So far, I've used the a0 AI App builder, which has created a really good app btw, but now I need to just integrate a back end database, to store information from the app, each time users submit an entry. It's essentially a lottery number type app, where users submit 4 numbers, between 1-24, and I just want to store these and save them in a database, which I can then set up some weekly reporting from
I have a Convex account and project set up
I also have some 3rd party payment providers (Stripe) set up which I can create payment links from at a later date. But for now I want to just focus on the functionality of the app saving data to a back end database
Okay, well this page talks about how to get LLMs to generate better Convex code, https://docs.convex.dev/ai - you can try attaching the convex_rules.txt into a0, and asking for it to do the backend, or using something like Cursor at this point if you can download the code from A0.
Unfortunately I think you’ll need to learn to code somewhat
Thanks, for your help, I will have a look at that now 🙂
