Btw, it only works if I set some kind of identifier on the user, like a username, email, or phone number. Since I don't have any of that, I'm using the convex ID for my local user row as the clerk username. Kind of a hack working around that limitation...

Integrating with clerk means perhaps I can use other types of auth later, since I want to integrate with other types of messengers that maybe clerk will actually help with :P. Unfortunately Telegram doesn't give any sort of universal identifier like email or phone number though so idk how I'd detect duplicate users authenticating in two different ways unless the user intentionally merges theirself shrug but I guess the poll runners could decide which auths they want to allow.

just to identify the user instantly. I'm making a poll app so I want each user to get one vote.

er, I guess this part is nextjs specific and needs to be something else: 
import { useUser, useSignIn } from '@clerk/nextjs'
import { useUser, useSignIn } from '@clerk/nextjs'

Ah I guess it doesn't really require nextjs does it?

Man, I really think I can make this work where I just forge a clerk jwt essentially, since it lets you provide your own signing key. Perhaps I'm not putting in my signing key correctly though because it's breaking its normal operation. Don't see docs on what format the signing key is supposed to be inputted.

The Clerk solution you're describing is kinda stateful, right? I assume it would cause Clerk to temporarily store some information to represent the login token you generated?

Well for OpenID Connect I'd just have to implement those two http actions: /.well-known/openid-configuration and /.well-known/jwks.json right?

even if I wrote a custom useQuery hook I'd still not be able to use convex.auth.getUserIdentity on the server side, right?

Honestly considering just writing an OpenID endpoint to make convex happy so I can do the auth in one place and then not have to think about it in the rest of the app.

So this would have to be an explicit argument in every single action/query/mutation? I'll even have to pass it and re-verify if an action calls other queries or mutations. Definitely not as convenient as just checking convex.auth.getUserIdentity. Is there no way to hook into that?

Is it possible to do something like 
crypto.createHmac("sha256", key).update(msg).digest();
}
crypto.createHmac("sha256", key).update(msg).digest();
}
without "use node"? And if so, how would I get convex to pass my telegram init data with every action/mutation/etc or would I have to do that manually?

https://github.com/grammyjs/validator?tab=readme-ov-file#web-bots-validation This package implements the verification in validateWebAppData. It's not terribly complicated: https://github.com/grammyjs/validator/blob/main/src/mod.ts#L13-L28 but it does use sha256 https://github.com/grammyjs/validator/blob/main/src/deps.node.ts
