Since this thread already has a negative response, I'll share my $0.02: this info is readily available in virtually any format you'd desire, and it just comes across tacky to post a question this inconsequential.

I'm going to guess without even looking there are about 100,000 YouTube videos alone on the topic firebase. Medium and substack will have a heap of articles. Firebase has a website.

You're going to be ignored or worse get hate on hn posting long winded questions that could have been a single-term search on Google. It's quite literally a waste of everyone's time, yours included.

If you're looking for a hn flavored description, that's understandable, but again... Single term search would have taken you less time and effort than your post, and you'd already have the answer.

I pose this rhetorical question with love and respect, but why would anyone want to do (extremely trivial) research for you?

I appreciate where you're coming from but for HN community purposes I think it's best to be more tolerant of simple questions. For all of us, there exists some popular thing that we're ignorant of. We don't want a culture that punishes people for asking sincere questions, and curiosity is the primary value of the site: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
