Say sayonara to churn, the only stat we love to see go down! #buildinpublic

What dashboard stat do you like to track?

@erchwy It's because we don't want to eager-load the organization list when useUser() is called.

This is one of our eternal debates:
Do DX benefits justify loading more data than strictly necessary?
Loading extra data inherently takes extra time - how much is too much?

New onboarding coming soon:

Do all these fields make sense to you? #buildinpublic #authentication #web3

How cool is it that auth can be this easy?! 😍

That was easy, thanks @StripeDev!

Soon, devs can build this in just 82 lines of code 👀 #buildinpublic

#buildinpublic This afternoon we'll try making @stripe subscription data available to useUser()

Optimistic we can read customer.subscriptions just-in-time for the proof-of-concept, but we'll need to use webhooks in the future:

Good discussion prompted by @dvargas92495 #buildinpublic:

In the end, the greatest testament to #buildinpublic is the growth we've seen over the past 6 months

In our mind, it's no coincidence this curve started around the same time we started writing changelogs!

When changelogs showed early signs of success, we started thinking about how else we can #buildinpublic

So far, our second favorite activity has been building and sharing integrations with third parties. Today, this is pretty clear from the "Product" menu on our homepage:

About 6 months ago, we started our #buildinpublic journey

Our motivation wasn't the book or the hashtag, but the fantastic weekly changelog from the folks at @Railway

We loved seeing and feeling how fast they were moving, and wanted our community to see the same about us 🧵

To be clear, these features don't exist yet - but the biggest blocker in their way is now removed.

Stay tuned - they will roll out in our changelog in the coming weeks and months! #buildinpublic

Happy March!

Things are going well at Clerk: 20 weeks of 5-10% week-over-week growth, and a strong start into this week 🚀

Many thanks to our community and our customers for helping spread the word - we love playing a small part in your application's development

#buildinpublic

And after Stripe, our eyes are really on you - our customers - to see where we can help the most

Early signs point to CRM-esque tools, like Intercom, Canny, Zendesk, MagicBell
