Why shouldn't they? We haven't been in contact with anyone from Google yet but I expect they are happy about tooling around their products!

Thanks! It's for security reasons. We want to keep all the data locally on the user's computer, so your data will never touch our or a third party's server (other than Google). If we piped the requests through a backend, nobody could verify that we're not reading the content of your data or secrets.

Thanks! That's a good idea, we'll put info about the numbers of read/write/delete operations that Firefoo uses up somewhere. For long-running tasks (export, delete/rename colls) we show those numbers in the Tasks popup already but it'd be nice to show them up front!

Hi HN! About a year ago we started using Cloud Firestore at work. And while I love it for its amazing realtime and effortless scaling capabilities, I grew more and more frustrated with the limitation in tooling around it. No way to query from shell, export collections, rename docs, edit nested field names, …

One day I had enough and pitched an idea to a friend: to create the experience I wanted to see. Luckily he was all in and we continued to spend our Corona lockdown hacking together an Electron app in TypeScript that makes my work delightful again! A few months later and we're glad to announce that Firefoo is now live for everyone to use!

Some features include

- Table View

- Export to JSON and CSV

- JavaScript Query Shell

- Batch Edit Documents

- Geo Point Map

We'd love to hear your thoughts and will be around in the comments all day!
