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!
