Thoughts, tutorials, and insights

Follow-up: michaelmonetized/launchpad PR #7 closed Issue #3. Root layout mounts Clerk then Convex then PostHog; Convex uses @clerk/nextjs useAuth matching clerkMiddleware. Soft-guards when env is unset. Providers are no longer orphan files.

slopops is a public Omarchy Quickshell bar widget (0.1.0, HEAD after two 2026-08-26 commits) with one icon and five tabs (Fleet / Deploys / Sentry / Traffic / Issues), bash JSON fetchers, optional secrets.env, and a badge that goes red/yellow/green without opening another Electron tray.

I took NextFaster PPR/prefetch DNA, ripped out Neon/Drizzle storefront pages, and shipped a public Convex + Clerk + Stripe + Sentry + PostHog + Resend e-commerce template with ~1.1k lines of Convex schema/mutations and a marketing homepage that still links to a /products route that does not exist yet.
