I blogged about it when I launched it and that post received comments and applause from senior Google engineers and the official Firebase Twitter account even tweeted about it

I'm always sceptical when there are no links or evidence backing up these kinds of claims. I can not see any writings in Medium by this account about a launch of this application, which makes me even more sceptical.

Not saying the author is fabricating this whole thing, but there is literally no proof of this ever having happened either.

/edit: Was able to find that blog post finally, so I was wrong.

Hey, I probably should have linked the original article, I didn't as it was a PWA back then (rather than native app) and it had a different name- two factors I thought could be confusing. Glad you found it anyway, if anyone's interested this is the article I was referring too: https://medium.com/@jimmyff/building-a-web-app-the-progressi...

Frustratingly I didn't screen grab the Firebase tweet and there history doesn't go that far back anymore. I got the mention after posting the article to the Firebase slack channel and one of the team took notice and sent me a PM. (I'm sure the conversation about it will still be in my slack history).

I'm happy to share all correspondence to and from Google if there is an appetite for it. I posted the original messages to reddit 6 months back asking for advice: https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/o6xghx/google_p...
