I understand Convex can't do much about

I understand Convex can't do much about forms using """" to represent blank values, but the way Convex requires nullnull to represent blank values on the API, and the undefinedundefined to represent them in db.patchdb.patch is creating a lot of boilerplate code (including lot's of types) on what feels like should be a tiny app (https://github.com/pupeno/convex-nextjs-playground). Does anybody have any advice on how to make this less messy?
