Open sourcing the Firebase SDKs
[other Firebase founder] It was painful to read the article[1] this morning, especially since I was one of the people responsible for dropping the ball on getting Home Automation the credit to cover the overage a few weeks ago. We&#x27;re working with the founder to make sure he&#x27;s in a better spot. If you have similarly serious issues, my email is: james@firebase.com<p>To address a couple of points that have been raised:<p>1. We&#x27;re aware that as we&#x27;ve integrated with Google our support response time &amp; quality has decreased. I&#x27;m working with our team to do better.<p>2. We know better querying and web offline are needed for the Realtime Database, stay tuned.<p>Finally, I hope you enjoy all the new features that launched today!
