Why? Why in the world would you make a todo app? Basic!🥱 Boring!😐 Uninspired!😶 Okay, these things are all true. But still...
Ever since working with my team at The Collab Lab on a Firebase project with a Firestore database, I've been dying to start my own Firebase project. But I put it on hold until I finished my full-stack program at Springboard. So, now that that's done!🥳 I'm free to explore all the things that I had put on hold.
So I started with this basic, boring, uninspired mini-project just to see if I could learn how to get things up and running with Firebase. Delighted to find it was super easy! I've only scratched the surface and there's tons more to learn, but I absolutely love how flexible, fast, and responsive Firestore is (of course I knew this from my TCL project, but just was reminded again), and how quick and easy setting up Firebase hosting is, compared to the cumbersome (not to mention 💰) process of hosting a full-stack application on Heroku with a Postgres db. Inspired and excited to try something more complex, now that I've got the basics down!
- HTML
- CSS
- Javascript
- Realtime Database (data storage)
- Firebase (hosting)

Thanks to these creators for their tutorials, which were immensely helpful in my understanding of setting up my own Firebase project:
