Are you thinking of user-to-user sharing (ex: daniel shares his list with justin) or something more global?
To give an example:
The indiehackers website uses firebase as its data store. It's a blog/forum, so posts and comments made by individual users can be seen by people who don't have accounts. Is this a use case you plan to support in the future?
If not, the potential use cases are much narrower than firebase. Not necessarily a bad thing but I'm just trying to understand the product.

I don't think you could build a performant end-to-end encrypted application with Firebase very easily. Userbase fills that role with a super simple SDK
