Medium Clone with NextJs, Convex, and Clerk

In this video, we'll build a Medium clone using NextJs, Convex, and Clerk. We'll use the Convex real-time database to get immediate updates and file storage to store our images conveniently. We'll integrate Clerk with Convex to access the auth context in our Convex functions. We'll also use a webhook to store user data in our Convex database.

Love your videos! You’re one of the best full stack devs on YouTube (who actually knows what he’s talking about lol). Keep up the good work!

[AkmalAshwin]

what a legend, was having a problem with the http file adding user data to convex but you solved it, like always

[yanDev]

I know that with convex we can directly integrate Search Vector to combine it with OpenAI, you could perhaps update this application from time to time by integrating these features, that would be great!
Thanks in advance in any case.

I’m working on building a production-ready web blog app and was wondering if the project you're teaching is production-ready. Also, for a production-level web app, would you recommend the tech stack you're using, or would it be better to use Next.js, PostgreSQL, and Prisma?

Why use Clerk and not Convex's auth solution?

[AlexandraSkrzypinski]

You're doing a fantastic job! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

[FanTuneMusicStudio]

Is it possible to add a feature where each blog post has its own comment box for users to leave feedback or thoughts? If yes, could you please guide me on how to implement this feature?

[michio]

Can you make a video on how to authenticate (jwt refresh token) in nextjs app router without using 3rd party library. I can't find a way to solve this problem)

[pierre-louisclouet]

beautiful presentation, I have a question though, I can't put images in the blog content. is this normal?
