Currently working on Inkblot v2 Scoring Web App.

The suggestion was to evaluate AWS vs Firebase (nodejs based, not Android as I usually do).

AWS is working really well work Inkblot v2 right now, so there’s little incentive to also do a Firebase version.

I’d still like to do a web app using Firebase to have a comparison with AWS, and Seeds seems like a good candidate for this. I have the Android app working fine, however my old Chrome extension does not work anymore since the AppScript-based apps have been deprecated.

Rebuilding it using Firebase would be a good target:

• Rely on their free tier, and measure cold latency (one of the big drawbacks of app engine in their free tier, which I do not see in AWS).
• Nodejs + React + Bootstrap, similar to what’s used in Inkblot v2.
• Google-only auth… how well do they integrate that in Firebase?
• Backend storage… how does it compare with GraphQL + DynamoDB?
• Note: the only thing I really need is to store the GDrive doc id.
• Deployment/hosting… this one would likely go on something like “seeds.alfray.com”.

Updated 2020-09-24: That project could also be a candidate to look again at Angular. I remember looking at Angular before React and couldn’t figure out the model… However now that I’m familiar with React (non native), looking at Angular a second time would be worth it, for a good comparison.
