My first app that was pushed to prod

I finished a project i have been working on for a couple months, not full time.

klimat22.com

It s Nextjs project with Convex as backend

It is a simple, e-commerce (which means CRUD for every table, easy as that)

But in practice it was more than basic CRUD. I wanted it to feel stable for real usage, not only for demo screenshots.

What i built:

• product catalog with variants
• category structure and filtering
• admin panel for editing products/content
• auth + role checks for protected routes
• order flow and status updates

Convex was very good for speed. I could move fast with schema/query changes and keep frontend + backend in one mental model.

Most painful part was consistency:

• naming fields the same way across forms and DB
• preventing small schema drifts over time
• handling empty states + bad input without breaking UX

Main lessons from shipping:

• build vertical slices first, infra second
• admin UX matters early in e-commerce
• simple UI is fine, data correctness is not optional

Next steps for this app:

• conversion analytics dashboard
• better image pipeline and optimization
• stronger SEO pages and metadata
