(Cloud Functions for Firebase PM here)

We’ve been developing this product for quite some time, and we’ve had it in private alpha testing for well over a year. We’re incredibly excited to finally take the wrappings off and let all of you try it.

Firebase has always focused on empowering you all to build extraordinary experiences for your users, without needing to worry about building common infrastructure. While we’ve made big strides towards this vision in the past, we always had one big hole: trusted code execution. Today, we’re completing the story with Cloud Functions for Firebase so that you can easily run server-side code in response to events from your Firebase app.

We think you’re going to love it, and we can’t wait to see what you build with it!

The world needs more people like Garry Tan. He's one of the kindest, humble, and most genuine people you'll ever meet. Garry helped us tremendously during and after YC.

Can't wait to hear to see what you end up doing next! Thank you, Garry!

This is excellent. I'll be sure to include a link to this when people ask for advice.

Re:Building an Open, Drop-in Replacement for UITableView on Monday December 02, 2013 @04:10PM (#6836543)
Nice job creating your own implementation of UITableView. Although, if you find delegates and datasources unusual then its best for you to spend more time getting familiar with them rather than trying to work around them.
