      Hey !

      I am also using Bulma on my site. Just wondering how did the deployment went with firebase.

      I am planning to deploy using firebase this week.

      Cool idea btw !

      1. 1

        Well, it's still in development and firebase is really easy to use. Use the CLI tool and it will deploy your site in a few commands.

        1. 1

          Will definitely try. Thank you so much !
