Thank you! I had personally not used stores a lot before, but realized how powerful they were in the project. I would try to abstract away as much as possible of the Firebase stuff and having your components talk to the store as data source. This makes it a lot easier for real-time stuff to work right (but also auth, you want to make sure to update state across the page once users log in or out).
