In the category of “getting ahead of myself”, my list of potential future apps to develop includes an entry for a simple accounting system. I guess transactions could live in SQLite, on iCloud for sharing between Mac and mobile devices. Nevertheless, while noodling about it, I thought I should think about it being fully online, and I’d heard Google’s Firebase (probably referring for specifically to Firestore) mentioned in several iOS developer podcasts and thought I should take a look.

Having consumed a few CodeWithChris videos on the topic, that certainly seems like it would fit the specifications. A simple SQL database on a device is probably a more realistic goal, but it leaves some syncing complications that a cloud based database at least partly addresses.
