So I read through the docs for a few minutes and something wasn't entirely clear.. It shows "offline-first design" so does that mean I can use it as a local storage in the browser/device, and it can sync later to a server?

That's what it looks like [1]. Every operation is done locally via IndexedDB, and then you manually perform syncs.

Great! We run Firebase in production. Offline-first is one of the most important features for us. (I know, Firebase isn't there yet) I'm surprised this isn't showcased more prominently on their marketing.
Firebase does have offline support for iOS/Android[1]. Web support is coming.
