Cloud, showcase, and omadesign.app
The public site is https://omadesign.app. GitHub Pages still exists so old links work; the homepage sends that host to the real domain.
Cloud is opt-in. A document stays on disk until File → Enable cloud sync.
Identity
Clerk signs the website when VITE_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY is set. Until then,
Account stores a name and email in the browser, and the desktop app stores the
same pair in ~/.config/omadesign/cloud-identity.json. Match those emails when
you invite a collaborator.
Desktop
- File → Sign in… writes the identity file.
- File → Enable cloud sync attaches a project id to the
.omafile. - File → Invite collaborator… adds an email to that document.
- File → Publish to showcase… is a second, explicit opt-in. Unpublished files never appear in the gallery.
- Layout inspector: write a note, Pin on canvas, resolve on the thread. Unresolved counts sit on the selected frame.
Set OMADESIGN_CLOUD_URL or the Sign in field to https://omadesign.app/api/cloud
when the Vercel API is live. Without a URL the desktop keeps a local store under
~/.local/share/omadesign/cloud-store.json.
Website
| Path | What it is |
|---|---|
/showcase | Public gallery. Seeded with the 0.5.0 Layout starters. |
/showcase/:id | One published project. Missing or private ids stay dark. |
/compete | Rules plus a waitlist. Entries are not required on day one. |
/account | Sign in / identity. |
/project/:id | Collaborator view: pin, reply, resolve. |
/api/cloud | Sync, publish, waitlist. Last-write-wins. |
Convex and Clerk
Schema lives in convex/schema.ts. Shared field names live in
packages/schema/. Deploy Convex and set:
VITE_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=
CLERK_SECRET_KEY=
VITE_CONVEX_URL=
CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT=
Rate-limit invites. No anonymous public writes. Comments can contain names; treat the gallery as public text.
Domain
omadesign.app was purchased on Vercel Domains. Assign it to the site project
so TLS terminates there. www.omadesign.app redirects to the apex.
GitHub Pages (https://michaelmonetized.github.io/omadesign/) redirects in the
browser to https://omadesign.app. Keep publishing Pages so the old URL does
not 404 while DNS settles.
