  • Updating the whole backend to use Firebase
    • No more python, no more flask
    • Now using:
      • Firestore
      • Cloud Functions
      • Firebase Auth
      • Firebase Hosting
      • Firebase Storage
  • Removed the tracker(daily activity/mood tracker ) submodule. May rewrite at a later date
  • Removed the search feature. May reimplement using algolia later. Firestore doesn't do plaintext search

This release is important in that it removes the need for a dedicated webhost running python. All of the usage(db r/w, function calls, storage, hosting) I'd ever need for this site fits squarely in the Firebase free tier.

Something for a for a later date is getting OneDrive image to upload directly into Firebase Storage.
