Bulletin board app

[hyeyoonjeong89]

We want to create a bulletin board app that allows us to share and share opinions with a specific majority of people. Here are a few questions if we can make it.

1. It looks like we could use local-DB, but I don’t know how to get started.
2. If you have an example apk file, please send it to ‘[Removed by moderator]’.
3. Can I use local-DB for comment format?

Airtable and Firebase are great choices! I’ve made a fully functional Chat App with Firebase(all features), and it works great. I’ve also made a social media app with Airtable. Firebase is good when you want only certain people to view certain data. Airtable is good when you want all your users to view all the data in your app.
