Family Chat - a Firebase app and tutorial for live chatting

[SteveJG]

Family Chat  is a chat app tutorial using the experimental Firebase database that is available now.  Family Chat lets developers connect several users in a live chat. Family Chat allows you and your family or friends to have a live chat provided all members of your circle have a copy of this app on their phone/tablets.  You do not need a personal Firebase account to use Firebase with this sharing app.  If you want/require privacy,  a personal account may be required.

Family Chat is an enhanced version of MIT’s Chat app described  here http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/reference/other/firebaseIntro.html   The app uses Responsive Sizing and designed on a Tablet.

 You must test this on your Android device.  Firebase apps presently will not run in the stock emulator that comes with App Inventor 2.  This is an Intermediate to advanced level Project.

Glad you guys got some samples up.

My app got bogged down with feature-itis, 

so it will be a while.
