## What is Firepanel?

Firepanel is the admin panel Firebase forgot to build.

The Firebase console works — but it's slow, ugly, and built for setup, not for daily data work. Every Firebase dev I know has the same daily friction: filtering documents is painful, bulk operations don't exist, editing a nested field takes 6 clicks, and on mobile you basically can't.

So I built the dashboard Firebase should have built. Connect any Firebase project in 30 seconds — paste a service account, no code — and start managing your backend the way you always wished you could.

## Why I built it

Two months ago I was wrestling with the Firebase console for a side project and thought "someone must have built a real admin panel for this." A few hours of searching later: nope, nothing modern, nothing developer-grade. Firebase has 3 million developers and the only "admin UI" is a console designed in 2018.

So I shipped one. Solo. In 2 months. With Claude Code doing the heavy lifting on implementation while I made the product calls.

## What's live today

Firestore module — full CRUD, production-grade.

- Neon-style table with column type labels, virtualisation for huge collections, and 36ms-class render performance

- Full keyboard navigation — open, edit, delete, save, undo, all without touching the mouse

- Search, sort, filter, bulk operations, saved views, column management

- Inline editing for primitives, slide-in detail view for complex documents

- Undo on every destructive action — delete a doc, restore it with one click

- Type-aware editors for every Firestore field type: string, number, boolean, timestamp, geopoint, reference, array, map

- GeoPoint visualised on a real map. Reference fields with a smart document picker. Monaco editor for raw JSON edits.

- JSON and CSV export for whole collections or selected rows

- Command palette (⌘K) for every action

Security and trust, by design.

- Your Firebase service account is encrypted with AES-256-GCM the moment you paste it. Decryption only happens server-side when needed.

- Firepanel never stores your actual Firestore data. We read live from your Firebase, pass it to your browser, and forget it.

- One-click disconnect deletes your encrypted credentials immediately

- Honest about what we don't have yet: no SOC-2 certification (we're a private beta), and that's on the roadmap

Billing, docs, the boring stuff that makes it real.

- Free tier for solo devs: 1 project, 3 writes/day, unlimited reads

- Pro at ₹699/mo for unlimited writes and 3 projects

- Team and Business tiers for shared projects

- Full GitBook-style docs at /docs covering every feature

- Razorpay subscriptions for Indian users; global payment support shipping next week

## What's shipping next

- Auth module — manage Firebase Auth users, custom claims, providers, bulk operations

- Storage module — browse Firebase Storage, signed URLs, file management

- AI queries — type "show me users who signed up last week and have premium=true" and Firepanel writes the Firestore query, runs it, shows results

- Role-based permissions and team audit logs — owner / admin / editor / viewer with granular per-collection access

- SSO — for team and business plans

## Who it's for

Indie hackers, mobile app developers, vibe coders, MVP builders, solo founders — anyone who lives in their Firebase data and is tired of the console.

If you use Firebase, please try it and tell me what's broken. I read every email, every comment, every DM. Brutally honest feedback only — it's how the next features get prioritised.
