As an Android developer this is incredibly exciting - can't believe I haven't heard about this project before. I'm especially interested to hear you might add push notifications.

I apologise if this is already in the docs, which I haven't had time to read yet, but how close is this to Firebase on the front end? If I want to migrate an app already using Firebase to Appwrite for example, just thinking of the learning curve.

The API is pretty simple! Not close to Firebase but simple to pick up.

Here's some Kotlin: https://appwrite.io/docs/getting-started-for-android#fullExa... https://appwrite.io/docs/databases#create-documents

Thanks so much. I'm going to bookmark those and have a look soon
