Lately I’ve been genuinely impressed by @convex.dev.
It removes backend friction by combining database, functions, and real-time sync in a way that feels natural for modern web apps.
I’ve been using it to build a new app.
Something built on Convex is coming soon.

Seeing a lot of “am I safe yet?” questions.
If you rely on React 19, assume you’re not fully in the clear until you’ve updated.
Thanks again to the @react.dev and @nextjs.org teams for coordinating early so we could make network-level patches on our end.
Stay updated, stay secure. 🔐
