01:04:00 explaining how to integrate convex and clerk, what a nice and epic explaining, you are the best Simon💯

[@matthewmbazima]

You're such a greater teacher Simon, and some of us are really grateful to have people like you giving out their knowledge free.... This is your 2nd app I really want to try out (1st was the Airbnb 😋🤭) One suggestion I would like to make, would it be possible to make your video overlay (video showing you) a little smaller? In this tut, it was covering quite a bit. Thanks

[@galaxies_dev]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@eddiegere]

Thank you so much, Simon! I can't wait to start this project later this evening. I love how you introduce these new tools, like Convex, Clerk, and Sentry. I haven’t used them yet, but I’m looking forward to learning about them.

[@galaxies_dev]

Love your spirit, try out the new stuff and lmk how it worked for you!

[@bearbricknik]

Really cool video, thanks so much! You are teaching a lot of small essential things and best practices to accelerate mobile development, learned a lot from this tutorial! Keep it up 🙌

[@galaxies_dev]

If you enjoyed it, could you share the channel with your RN buddies? ️👋 Thanks!

[@danielzaniewski1108]

Hi, I'm in part six now. Tutorial very nice and technical in my opinion. I learn a lot in your video. Thanks!

[@galaxies_dev]

Great to hear!

[@mustolinii]

Great stuff! Glad KZbin has people like you on their platform!!

[@galaxies_dev]

Thank you so much!

[@fullstackfounder]

This looks so good. You're a wizard!

[@galaxies_dev]

Thanks mate!!

[@Gjacolby83]

Did not know that Flashlist had a header section. I was doing it wrong. Thanks for that one for sure!

[@galaxies_dev]

Happy to help!

[@aymenbachiri-yh2hd]

Thank you so much simon, please make more videos like this

[@galaxies_dev]

I absolutely will!

[@giacomogaravaglia6742]

Thank you Simon for these amazing content. I've got two video suggestion/request: 1: offline application, like user activities with background sync. 2: testin an application. Thanks

[@galaxies_dev]

Noted!

[@ted.larsson]

is there a reason you do not use the link like this @2:41:21 ?

[@galaxies_dev]

Yeah I probably should, it would be more readable

[@MohammadRezaYusufy]

That is awesome and great tutorial

[@galaxies_dev]

If you enjoyed it, could you share the channel with your RN buddies? 👋 Thanks!

[@GeorgiIvanov-p4k]

The only thing I seem to miss in your video’s is how this translates to Android devices. Other than that it’s 🔥🔥

[@Perrynatufe9105]

Thanks so much for the video

[@galaxies_dev]

You are so welcome!

[@dylandufay7113]

Hey ! I'm wondering, why do you use { top } of useSafeAreaInsets instead of wrapping FlatList in a SafeAreaView component ? Is it a best practice ?

[@HorizonChaserPilot]

So I try using Clark and convince on an internal app for messaging and I kept having deprecation issues.

[@patolorde]

Awesome loved

[@galaxies_dev]

Thanks 🤗

[@VIJAY-fx4yh]

Please make google lens clone, or circle to search

[@Hax-ma]

Yes that nice 👍

[@Binodh-e5g]

Waiting for the clone actually its possible in reactnative?

[@VIJAY-fx4yh]

@@Binodh-e5g i think it's possible

[@galaxies_dev]

@@Binodh-e5g Everything is possible ;)

[@galaxies_dev]

Sounds like a challenge!

[@delony-to-the-design]

Why is my user not saved in convex and does not appear in clerk? did the same as in the video, I tried a bunch of options and nothing(only a session is created)

[@icegoesnice]

looks smooth 😯

[@galaxies_dev]

Thanks!

[@BrandTech-tj7bq]

You always release Banga tutorial

[@galaxies_dev]

Thanks!!

[@quangloi5652]

Clerk is only support for Expo and not support for CLI right? Thank you

[@codecollaborate-c2g]

an App with real time chat , map integration , camera usage , Subscription should it be developed in Rn expo or Cli ? or Native IOS/Android

[@KPBhan]

Thank you 😊

[@galaxies_dev]

You are welcome!

[@webmobile21]

01:35:12, what actually Haptics do? I could not understand

[@galaxies_dev]

Sorry, they are the little haptic feedback you have in native apps when pressing a button or something happens (like a super gentle vibration)

[@webmobile21]

@@galaxies_dev ooov, okey thanks a lot

[@abdikhanihassan]

Convex 🎉🎉🎉 is amazing

[@galaxies_dev]

I absolutely agree!

[@rodasjateno2565]

Is there vendor locking with Convex? Can I export my data? The data store they use is a little weird

[@Jim49267]

Do you use Cursor AI or GitHub Copilot to automate your code writing?

[@galaxies_dev]

Cursor

[@blossomdoom7609]

can you do a t3 turbo tutorial with clerk

[@webpro9083]

Please what expo SDK version are you using, I haven't been able to install packages with the new update "box expo install packages-name". Some people have started posting the issue on stack overflow too(today)

[@galaxies_dev]

Expo 51, be careful with 52 beta!

[@webpro9083]

@galaxies_dev I was using 51 before, downgraded to 50 and I am still having the same issue, node 22. And everything is okay when I ran npx expo doctor. This is the part of RN apps I don't like 😩

[@ritikjha4567]

Can anyone help me with pre development build My app is failing to build after installing expo-dev-client.

[@jimmyjam77]

How are you managing state in this app?

[@galaxies_dev]

No special library, just Convex. You could probably add Tanstack!

[@rohithegade7529]

anyone can suggest library for inputaccessoryView for android

[@chanzerone0516]

which is better: convex or supabase?

[@adloukondo2148]

Wow vidéo performente comme dh'abitude. j'ai un problème sur un projet que je n'arrive pas à builder avec expo j'ai une erreur depuis 48H je suis sur l'errreur j'ai beau cherché mais rien comme solution BUILD FAILED in 2m 54s Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 9.0.

[@BuiltbyJay]

Same here

[@czancdy144]

why don't u use any ui library ?

[@chess4964]

It is not necessary.

[@galaxies_dev]

Because that brings other trouble :/

[@moutaz88]

Why you didn't use react native instead of expo?

[@galaxies_dev]

I don't understand the question

[@Seules-sg4tj]

I want Shein Clone so bad😢

[@galaxies_dev]

I might consider some sort of shopping clone next!

[@usmanmarkaz]

bro why you don't use Node js with Rest API managing state with Redux toolkit plz make one full stack LMS or social media app with these technologies

[@galaxies_dev]

Thanks for the ideas!

[@tropiccoder]

Instructive, but it goes in all directions, it’s confusing. set up a methodology that allows you to better follow in a linear way, it gives headaches at the end!

[@amershboul9107]

Good tutorial thank you - but you touch your mouse too much bro .. so annoying seeing you jump between lines and making changes using mouse

[@galaxies_dev]

Sorry about that
