An iOS app for viewing all Firebase projects in one place
The author says they run several apps, each with its own Firebase project. They built an iOS app called Firedeck because switching between Firebase console pages on a phone was painful. The app shows widgets for things like user feedback, document counts, user counts, errors, releases, and Remote Config values across projects. The author says the app has no server, so user data does not pass through them.
