We had such a great time at the @convex.dev boba popup last week that we decided to keep it going. At Little Sweet in Mission Bay, ask for the Convex card, and your drink is on us. Doors open at 11 AM. One drink per person while the cards last. Thanks to the Little Sweet team for teaming up with us.

Liveblocks is also piling onto the Agent Experience (AX) movement. Liveblocks makes it easy to display the cursors of other users who are simultaneously looking at the same screen as you are. For example, you're on the phone with Turbotax support, and you can see their cursor on your screen.
