We have are developing web app and we need to implement some kind of in-app messaging and it seems like Firebase Cloud Messaging is the best way forward for us.
The plan is that we will develop the UI and all the custom coding on our end and the developer we hire will just slot in the relevant Firebase code to get the functionality up and running. Below is a brief outline of what we need from Firebase;
* Custom authentication & prompting users to allow notifications on their browser. * Adding messages to Cloud Firestore and setting custom data (conversation ID - from our DB will be made provide in our code) * Sending notifications to the other conversation participants when messages are sent in a conversation they a participant in. * Reading messages from Cloud Firestore based on conversation ID (see above).
Right now we're just looking to have conversations with developers who have worked with Firebase before or with other similar Google technologies. We still have some work to do on our side in terms of nailing down the brief. I've just put £350 down for now although we've not really nailed down the budget or out exact requirements as yet.
