For those who aren't necessarily familiar with "Firestore" (I'd heard of Firebase but didn't know what Firestore was): https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore

> Use our flexible, scalable NoSQL cloud database [called Firestore] to store and sync data for client- and server-side development.

Getting back to what the actual post was about, my first instinct is to find out a way to replace Firebase/Firestore as a dependency of Firetable though -- does anyone know of any API-compatible replacements for Firebase with pluggable backends (minio[0] is to S3 as <something> is to Firebase/Firestore).

I also... kind of think this might be good tech to spin a whole SaaS out of. It'd be unthinkable to try and compete with Airtable if I had to build their frontend but... hosting a database, giving access to shared/private instances of firetable, and trying to out-maneuver (or just undercut) airtable seems like it might not be a completely fool's errand.
