The first Abstract speakers are announced. Abstract is a one-day conference on the art of software: engineering principles, simplicity, elegance, and good abstractions. September 2nd in SF. Applications are now open.

Five new members have joined the Rust Foundation! Silver: Integer 32, Convex, Renesas, and Peeriot Associate: Processing Foundation Rust is growing across consulting, cloud infra, edge hardware, semiconductors, and visual art. 🦀 rustfoundation.org/media/rust-f...

SF, The Parkside, a long-standing destination in Potrero Hill, is closing its doors in early July. Come say goodbye with @convex_dev and friends on June 18th for one last hurrah. 🍻 Happy Hour and good vibes! RSVP luma.com/bhv2zw1n

We heard the Bluesky community cares about Open Source, so we showed up 👋 Our endowment dedicated to supporting Open Source maintainers is already at $729k, and we're developing a model for distributing our first funding round. Have ideas on how to identify critical OSS projects? We're listening.

We had such a great time at the @convex.dev boba popup last week that we decided to keep it going. At Little Sweet in Mission Bay, ask for the Convex card, and your drink is on us. Doors open at 11 AM. One drink per person while the cards last. Thanks to the Little Sweet team for teaming up with us.

Huge thanks to @convex.dev for sponsoring Solid!🎉 Your support helps us continue building fast, reactive experiences for devs everywhere. We're excited to see the amazing apps our community will create combining Solid's fine-grained reactivity with Convex's real-time backend. 💪

1/ We've partnered with Resend to launch the Convex Resend Component and Hackathon. We’re confident that Resend provides the best DX available for integrating transactional and marketing emails into your React app. Check out our blog post on the collaboration here: stack.convex.dev/convex-resend

Part 2: The Ultimate Convex Beginner Tutorial is now live! You’ll learn how to make external API calls using Convex actions and the built-in scheduler. youtu.be/0bn9RcwOwOQ

Convex is hosting Vibe Week from April 7-11! We'll be announcing something that will dramatically change the way you ship AI apps.

Bolt + Netlify just hit 1M AI-generated sites in 5 months. AI code → 1-click deploy → live site. No infra headaches. Just shipping. Bolt.new www.netlify.com/blog/why-net...

Ghibli but make it talk. Ok, I'm done...

What we calling this? vibe photography? All images created with a prompt.

Our official template is a single-user AI chat application, built with help from our friends at @sentry.io and making use of the amazing @convex.dev to store chat history.

Tomorrow! The All Things Web meetup at @convex.dev Talks/Demos on: - AI, IDEs, and the Future of Code Understanding. - Technical Leadership in the Age of AI. - Live-coding an image optimization pipeline. lu.ma/d6hmyonq

🚀 Introducing ProofyBubble: Your Social Proof on Automation Stop relying JUST on testimonials 🛑 ProofyBubble shows visitors what's happening in real-time 🤝 Live visitor & purchase activity 📈 Real-time notifications create urgency 💪 Recent conversions encourage users to act bit.ly/proofybubble

SF next week! All Things Web Meetup hosted @convex.dev Talks on: - Technical leadership in the world of AI Coding Agents - How to make your terminal write code w/ @CodebuffAI - How to build your own image optimizer lu.ma/d6hmyonq

Hooray! I love seeing #EpicWebConf sponsors playing together! Self-hosting @convex.dev on @fly.io by @anniesexton.com youtu.be/YPCgr_hesYM

We just launched self-hosting and a redesigned homepage. @jt.lol and Mike walks us through what’s new—improved onboarding, real-time updates, built-in mock testing—and why self-hosting matters for developers. Watch here: youtu.be/MkIy5yswy3o?...

Convex is one of the coolest databases I've ever used, and now you can host one yourself! So obviously I had to try it out on Fly.io (spoiler, it was awesome) www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPCg...

Built PrompStack- an open-source platform for developers to share, submit, and discuss AI prompts and code-gen (cursor) rules for prompt engineering or vibe coding. promptstack.dev with @bolt.new Cursor, and @convex.dev. There's now a better way to share your prompts or cursor rules.

I used AI to write a script to help me write AI evals to help AI write Convex code. Very meta 💡Each step uses RAG from previous evals Flow: 1. 🧑‍💻oneliner -> 🤖 task description -> 🧑‍💻 audit 2. 🤖 answer ->🧑‍💻 audit 3. 🤖 tests for answer ->🧑‍💻 audit 🔗 to evals 👀 & my script in 🧵

The most important description of a product is the one that’s said one or two word-of-mouth hops away from the original description. A product like convex.dev is an interesting case study of this. They truly invented new ergonomics and ways to build apps.

Liveblocks is also piling onto the Agent Experience (AX) movement. Liveblocks makes it easy to display the cursors of other users who are simultaneously looking at the same screen as you are. For example, you're on the phone with Turbotax support, and you can see their cursor on your screen.

Got to sit down with Professor @andypavlo.bsky.social on the latest @convex.dev Databased podcast for his 2024 databases year in review! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B-M...

Why are you tired? “up late prompting” ok, keep cooking!

Does anyone have a list or know of an updated directory for developer agencies or MVP studios?

Ok, this is better; rank the best developers on GitHub with AI. commitrank.ai.

Some improvements to the open-source collaborative editor sync component landed this week: 📝 Now supports syncing *BlockNote* & @tiptap.dev 🦾 Server-side editing of documents is now easier & documented, for those of you using AI thingies
