All of the above. Prove your team is credible and your idea is solid and the only thing holding you back is the money. Even if you don't have the capital to build the full-scale thing, you can st…

That's great to hear! Our design for Cloud Firestore was based on years of developer feedback. Glad we hit the mark for you : )

Clearly we have some work to do here!

All fair points and things we're working on. We do often give credits to help in situations like this, though I can't speak to specifics publicly. We're working with this developer to t…
