To be clear, I think it's great for Firebase to have competition (same feeling as e.g., supabase). But the "you can only load documents" argument doesn't seem technically correct to me.

Except for maybe in the sense that convex is built on functions from day one so the docs and platform will lead you there by default rather than loading the documents which is non-optimal.

But that's a different argument than:

> With Cloud Firestore, the client interacts with its data by loading documents straight from the database.
