Refi App - A tool to make developer less painful when interacting with Firestore DB

Hello there,

When I first working with FireStore I had to face many issues

  • How can I filter documents by some criteria?
  • How can I insert a new document from a JSON, in fact, I have to write a script to insert some new document
  • I have to use GC Storge to backup the data, which is I need to spend more time learning about it. WTF 🀬 why not just export and import by a JSON file?
  • If I edit the same field of many documents, I need to go through documents and documents to edit.

Is there any tool to interact with FireStore like TablePlus - A question pop on my head. But you know what

Not found

So yeah, I think many of you will phase the same issues like me, so I decided to make one.

Refi App

P/S

This is an early version, so let help me make it better by giving me some feedback. I think we can make it better

Make RefiApp stronger

P/S 2
