Finally I'm going to highlight authorization with Supabase and Clerk and how RLS is used to prevent the user from accessing data they shouldnt have access to, along with some key requirements to make Supabase and Clerk work together.

Next I got a section comparing the traditional approach with how Supabase works and how Supabase verifies JWTs with Clerk using the JWKS endpoint

Working on a video that outlines the new Clerk & Supabase integration and how the whole thing works. Looking for feedback 🤗 First few slides walk through how a typical multi-tier application works, both independently and with Clerk.

Anyone ever use Figma to map out their components or just me?

Back to building directly on AWS. Some people are scared of it, but I actually quite enjoy the challenge. Ran into some weirdness when building my authorizer so thought I’d write about it

Proof that I think you should know how to roll your own auth. I wrote a whole damn post on how to implement session auth with React + Express + @neondatabase on the @clerkdev blog! lmk what you think: clerk.com/blog/buildi...

Just finished writing my "looking ahead" post for the coming year. Ultimately I want to focus on building up systems around the important areas of my life, and not burning out. Sacrifices will be made, but I'm ok with that... TLDR is in the image 👇 www.brianmorrison.me/blog/im-loo...

Got model selection working in my Obsidian plugin It loads and caches the available models from Ollama. I’ve also got a command to refresh them if I install another

Brian Morrison II @brianmm.dev · 19/12/2024

Experimenting with a using AI to help with my writing more. Today I created a custom model using personalized insturctuons and examples from my past works. Any pointers on how I can optimize this process?

Brian Morrison II @brianmm.dev · 19/12/2024

Ok that’s clear thank you! Follow up question - I’m training an Ollama model but the instruction file also seems to use the SYSTEM keyword to give it instructions. Is this the same thing?

Just discovered Perplexica, which is an open source version of Perplexity that I can run on my home server and integrate with Ollama I'm so excited to play with this! github.com/ItzCrazyKns...

Brian Morrison II @brianmm.dev · 17/12/2024

my Obsidian plugin integrating with Ollama is really coming along! I built a side chat with the active document which uses the content as context. I also built “functions”, one of which us being used in this clip
