Hello,
Is is possible to display a list view from data from FireDB? Thanks. I cant seem to find anything useful in the docs.

Welcome back, @Nihal! ๐
Can you please show a sample of your Firebase Data to display?
Also, check this video from @darren upon **How to retrieve data from Firebase** -
**Thanks! ๐**

@kartik14 I see some people store their data in Airtable while using Firebase for login authentication, is this a good practise?

Hi Terry! ๐
Since Thunkable allows us to store data in only **`1 Firebase DB`** , Firebase does not seem good.
Because sometimes you may require multiple databases for one app, therefore storing in Firebase doesnโt look handy ๐
Now comes Airtable, which is supported by Thunkbale X with multiple Databases ๐
Itโs the best one Iโve ever used, and easy to handle.

Itโs good too, because Firebase is owned by Google, (so google accounts are supported) .
You just ask the user to provide his login, and ask FireBase / (indirectly google) to check credentials ๐

So, it seems pretty good to me ๐

ohh ok thanks. so in OPโs question, itโs actually better to use Airtable for List View?

Hi, @Nihal! ๐
I can answer you about Airtable ๐ (Itโs too easy ๐ )
but I am not experienced with Firebase ๐
btw, did you see the video completely?
Thanks! ๐

of course you can! but youโll have to save the list in CSV(comma separated value) item1,item2,item3,item4 โฆ you can do this within a block in the list components named โmake list from textโ
