Creators can submit their tools, I curate them, and the community can discover new stuff.\n\nBuilt this because the OpenClaw Discord was getting messy. Good projects were getting buried. Needed a proper showcase with categories and search.\n\n## How It Works\n\n1. Sign in with X (your handle is used for attribution)\n2. Fill out the form with name, URL, and screenshot\n3. I review submissions and approve the good ones\n4. Quality tools get featured on the homepage\n\n![Browse page](screenshots/browse.jpg)\n\n## Tech Stack\n\n| Layer | Technology | Notes |\n|-------|------------|-------|\n| Frontend | React 19 + TypeScript | Using the new concurrent features |\n| Styling | Tailwind CSS 4 | The new Vite plugin is noticeably faster |\n| Database | Convex | Real-time by default, type-safe queries, file storage included |\n| Auth | Clerk | X/Twitter OAuth setup took about 10 minutes |\n| Hosting | Vercel | Edge deployment with analytics |\n\n### Why Convex?\n\nTried Supabase before but the DX with Convex is better for this use case. Writing queries feels like writing TypeScript instead of SQL strings. Real-time updates just work without setting up subscriptions. File uploads for screenshots are a single function call.\n\n### Database Schema\n\n```typescript\ntools: {\n  name, slug, tagline, description,\n  url, screenshotId, categoryId,\n  creatorId, status, featured, sortOrder\n}\n\nusers: {\n  clerkId, username, image, isAdmin\n}\n\ncategories: {\n  slug, name, emoji, color\n}\n```\n\n## Categories\n\n- 🚀 Hosting\n- 🧠 Skills  \n- 🔧 Tools\n- 💻 Hardware\n- 👥 Community\n- 📚 Resources\n\n## Design\n\nWent for a magazine cutout / scrapbook aesthetic:\n- Dashed selection frames around featured items\n- Scattered pixel decorations  \n- Mix of serif and sans-serif typography\n- Playful angles on cards\n\nThere's also a snake game hidden in the footer.\n\n![Submit page](screenshots/submit.jpg)\n\n## Lessons Learned\n\n- Clerk's X OAuth recently deprecated \"shared credentials\", so you need to set up a custom Twitter app now\n- Convex is genuinely great for small projects. Zero backend code to maintain.\n- Had to rename categories twice before landing on ones that actually fit the tools being submitted\n\n## Ideas for Later\n\n- Upvoting system\n- Weekly newsletter of new tools\n- RSS feed\n- API for programmatic submissions\n\n---\n\nBuilt by [@deeflectcom](https://x.com/deeflectcom) for the [OpenClaw](https://openclaw.ai) community\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdeeflect%2Flobster-tools","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdeeflect%2Flobster-tools","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdeeflect%2Flobster-tools/lists"}
