How I Built My First SaaS - Next.js & more!

Let me know if there’s any specific features you’d like to see me add 🤔 I’m thinking the first think I want to tackle is allowing votes from people without an account

That three-step upload process is called "pre-signed URL upload". It's useful so that you can generate the URL on the server, send it to the client, and allow users to upload files from the browser directly to your storage provider. This ensures you don't pay ingress/egress fees on your server to receive the images and send them to storage! Nice work by the way.

oh I never knew this was kind of like an industry standard but ive also not worked with file storage and uploads a whole lot. thanks for the info, will actually look into this a bit more!

Was looking for someone to explain this, somewhere, somehow, on KZbin. Theo has his UploadThing product and he often says “pre signed URLs” and that the client actually does the upload, not the server. So, I was so confused on what that meant and how it worked. Gold mine comment!

We'd love to see a video on Convex Auth! I personally need this for my next app :P

[@cdbrw]

can definitely do this 👀 auth was surprisingly easy to set up. What took me a bit longer was figuring out how to work with it on server vs client components as things are a bit different between the two
