What is this Project?
Firefiles is an app which basically provides you with a drive like UI for your storage buckets. Currently, it works with Firebase, so you basically get a file hosting like UI for your firebase cloud storage bucket. This is basically like a UI-AAS, which means that Firefiles only providers you with the UI and you bring your own storage.
Why I built it:
Honestly, there's no real reason to why I built this. I was just thinking about how I can improve my old project Angelfiles and this random idea came into my head that what if we could have our own personal file hosting service? I think this was a really cool idea and I had a lot of fun building this!
How I built it:
I had most of the UI ready because I forked my old project Angelfiles and started from there. I only had to do a few tweaks like instead of already providing my Firebase credentials, I replaced them with the user inputted credentials. And there were a few more problems which aroused but I got around it after some hardwork. I also built a self hosting version of firefiles so that the users can host their own firefiles instance!
