Cloudflare Worker + Remix + Clerk Starter

Description

The most important USP of Clerk in my humble opinion is its capability to work on Edge like Cloudflare Workers. Please kindly provide a getting started tutorial and a sample starter for using Clerk in Cloudflare Workers with Remix.

You just need to follow https://clerk.com/docs/quickstarts/get-started-with-remix and deploy to Cloudflare: https://remix.run/docs/en/1.19.1/guides/envvars#production

@Ehesp Thank you so much for your kind response.
But I would like to tell you I tried the docs before and it never worked on Cloudflare Workers!! Lot of work arounds are needed before we can make it work. For example recently CF workers stopped exposing the ENV variables in the globalThis scope and breaks the Clerk's implementation. (ref: #1540)

This is not just for the benefit of me and for a wider audience it be of great help and prevent the huge friction that happens while trying to adapt Clerk.

Hmmm, I could try putting a very simple example together. I might not be able to get to it until this weekend.

Ah! I forgot about this, you can blame Baldurs Gate 3

I will dedicate some time tomorrow morning to this.

Ok update, I talked to with someone from Cloudflare Pages to see if there was any potential better ways that this can be done. Overall the approach I will be taking is this:

1. Start with https://clerk.com/docs/quickstarts/get-started-with-remix
2. Implement workaround in A secretKey or apiKey must be provided error in Cloudflare Workers + Remix #1540
3. See if that works
4. Work on trying to find a better way to deal with auth, specifically with CF Workers

At the end I hope to have a very simple concise example (a critical success would be agnostic even to Remix)
