The problem
Supabase had a ready-made UI library for realtime and auth; Convex developers had to build the same blocks themselves.
Convex-UI
Realtime, auth and storage blocks for Convex apps, installed with the shadcn CLI. A Convex port of Supabase's open-source UI Library.
- UI Library
- Live
- TypeScript, React, Next.js
The build
We ported the library to Convex, swapping the backend for live queries, Convex Auth and Convex storage, with docs and live examples per framework.
The outcome
Chat, cursors, presence, auth and uploads drop into a Convex app with one shadcn command each.
4 features. 7 tools.
- Realtime chat, cursors and avatar stack on Convex live queries
- Password and GitHub/Google OAuth flows on Convex Auth
- Drag-and-drop uploads on Convex storage
- Clients for Next.js, React (Vite) and TanStack Start
