Hey all,
I have a firebase database I have been using for work to keep some stuff together, Its small I am using the free one. Now some other people would like to help clean it up and change some of the grammar of the text and spruce it up to make it more legible if we display it somewhere as RSS or XML outout.
All the input right now have been from the output of various R and Python code so I have no easy way for them to edit the database. Giving them access to the Google dashboard is possible but very easy for them to mess something up.
Is there a database viewer or editor that works with Firebase well that they can use as CMS for editing the content in the database?
This is an existing database with documents, so I have seen some JS scripts that work for building blogs on firebase but they create new databases, while I am looking to edit an existing one.
Two things that have come from my google searches is firebase-admin , which is a desktop app (in Java?) but I don't know how to export from firebase dashboard to import into the software. I tried using console to export to a bucket, but it was having none of that.
I found https://firepad.io/ which i thought i could modify , its a group text editor that uses firebase, so maybe I could hack that code to sorta display my database and sync changes. but honestly that seemed like a lot of work, as thats not really its intention.
back in 2014, i had a boss who couldn't code and he had a desktop app to look at change our mongodb so I know tools out there do exist. I just dont remember any of their names.
Thanks in advance for help you can provide!

Hi Wes,
There's no "official" Firebase CMS but there are some which I have used in the past and I am happy to recommendL:
- FlameLink (https://flamelink.io/)
- PushTable (https://www.pushtable.com/)
Hopefully one of those will work for you!
- Sam

Thanks Samuel, these both look perfect! Flame if they want to spend a little money for some UI, and Push if they dont. Exactly what I was looking for. Hope you are staying safe and having a good week.
