Draftbit now supports Firebase's Firestore Database.

Firestore Database has real-time capabilities. Change something in your DB and it will automatically be updated in your app, no refresh necessary.

If you're not sure how to set it up or if you just want to see real-time updates in action, have a look at the “read from a collection” (10:40) part of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fnbymg_Mjg

This will unlock the realtime database and allow firebase to push data to the client. This is a feature that makes it easier to build live collaborations applications as well as things such as chat, dm, notifications, etc.

This feature would be great if the data was bound to items on the canvas that would automatically update when the realtime database updates. A new store item is listed, it automatically adds to the users app while they are looking at it.

This also would eliminate the need to poll for information.

Hi! When could I expect this integration to be launched?

Calling all Firebase fans! If you'd like to be part of a small group of testers that give us feedback on the new integration, please leave your email here: https://draftbit.typeform.com/to/WHcJZ6Pb

These would be superb. Would A/B testing also be possible through firebase as well then?

Please 🥺🙏

Yes please, make this a priority.
