About Bonfire Android App

We like to keep on top of new technology at Novoda, so we decided to dedicate some time to explore the new Firebase. With a small team of four developers (two for iOS and two for Android) we took the idea of a chat application shown in most sample code and expanded it into a more feature-rich example. Today we want to share with you our findings and the demo app that was built during this exploration. Say hello to Bonfire!

This is a demo app built with the purpose to showcase the usage of Firebase in a production-like environment. It uses Firebase Realtime Database, Dynamic Links, Analytics, Crash Reporting and more to showcase the strength and weaknesses of Firebase as a production platform.
