Need feedback from firebase developers for my first IH product

Hi, fellow indie hackers! (And firebase users)

For over a year now I've been working with firebase for client work and over and over again I've had to put together forms and admin panels so clients could change content on their websites and apps.

Having used other headless CMS's such as sanity I felt firebase was crucially lacking a good content editor. I searched a lot for admin panel or form builders for firebase, and could only find some half-assed themes for sale. The themes had quite a few sales and that made me think there is demand.

I started playing with a simple MVP and after some time I ran into flamelink, a complete CMS solution built over firebase (I think the founder is also an Indie Hacker, but couldn't find the product listed here). My initial reaction was hitting myself on the head, but then I realized their prices were about 10x of what I had in mind, and they seemed like they had quite a lot of sales so it was also good a validation: there could possibly be space for me to have a go and maybe even make some money!

Oh, also I think my content editor looks much better, being heavily inspired by sanity's amazing content studio.

So fireful might be interesting for you if you need to change data on firebase but you don't have the time to invest in building a panel to edit the content. Please have a look, sign up for the beta if it's interesting, and let me know what you think!

    love the name dude, seems like a good space to go into, though I've not used Firebase enough to be a target user or provide much feedback.
