Getting Started
You will need to grab your own google-services.json and GoogleService-Info.plist. Head over to firebase.com and create a new application.
You will then need to modify your configuration files to match the Hacker News API:
./android/app/google-services.json:
"firebase_url": "https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com"
./ios/Hekla/GoogleService-Info.plist
<key>DATABASE_URL</key>
<string>https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com</string>
