Use Convex with Replicate to create images from doodles

Stack:

Getting Started

Install packages:

npm install

Continuously deploy to the Convex backend (this will create a (free) Convex account if you don't have one):

npx convex dev

Get a Replicate API key (free to try) and add it to your environment variables in the Convex Dashboard

In another terminal, run the frontend:

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

Editing files in convex/ will auto-update your "Dev" deployment in Convex.
