Getting Started

You will need to grab your own google-services.json and GoogleService-Info.plist. Head over to firebase.com and create a new application.

You will then need to modify your configuration files to match the Hacker News API:

./android/app/google-services.json:

    "firebase_url": "https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com"

./ios/Hekla/GoogleService-Info.plist

	<key>DATABASE_URL</key>
	<string>https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com</string>
