Building a Real-World TypeScript App with Convex and Expo

Hyo Jang shares his experience of rapidly developing a TypeScript-based quiz app using Convex and Expo, leveraging insights from a previous workshop series. By combining Expo, a mature cross-platform framework, with Convex as the backend, Jang efficiently developed and deployed a quiz app to the Play Store and App Store within a month and a half. He highlights key features of his project, including the use of Convex's CQRS architecture for API design, the implementation of email OTP authentication via Convex Auth, and strategies for data migration and seeding. Despite encountering challenges such as the lack of built-in multilingual support and HTML email customization in Convex, Jang managed to implement workarounds and anticipates future updates to address these limitations. His development journey not only deepened his understanding of Convex’s design philosophy but also demonstrated the platform's potential in creating scalable and efficient applications.
