Hi dearest community members, Actually, I needed some help: I was thinking of creating a Homework App which will be used **for my school**. Three simple features that I thought should be in the app: - Login system (Signup/Sign in using Google/Facebook/Apple if possible. If not, some other work-around). - An option for creating folder-like things in app where people can post homework for one particular assignment. - Person who uploads most assignments should get points. Can you all please tell how I can put all these features in my app? Sincere Regards, @thecodingmasterabeer ---

@thecodingmasterabeer That is a very interesting and exciting app idea! It is also a surprisingly complex app. For the sign in, read the Thunkable documents on Firebase Sign in: [Email Sign In by Firebase - ✕ Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/sign-in-1) For uploading assignment, you will need to decide between 2 strategies: 1. Upload and STORE the document 2. Upload a LINK to the document Uploading a link to a document on the internet will be a bit easier with Thunkable. I would recommend you start with uploading a link. Later after your app is working you can add uploading and storing a document. To track of documents/assignments uploaded by students and give them points, I would recommend you use the Firebase Realtime database using Stored Variables. You can read about how to do that - [Realtime DB by Firebase - ✕ Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/realtime-db) - [Variables - ✕ Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/variables#app-stored-and-cloud-variables) - [Thunkable Hack - Deep Firebase JSON data manipulation without using GET or SAVE Blocks](http://community.thunkable.com/t/thunkable-hack-deep-firebase-json-data-manipulation-without-using-get-or-save-blocks/975738) It is a big project, so take it one step at a time. Happy Thunking! ---

With which component should I do the document processing? ---

> [@thecodingmasterabeer](#): > > With which component should I do the document processing? It depends on your approach. If you have your users provide links, I would recommend firebase realtime database. For actually uploading the files, You are going to need some sort of file repository, probably through a Web API interface. Personally, I would use Firestore, since it is free and associated with the Firebase Sign In. But there are probably other good/better solutions. ---
