Hi again folks!
I wanted to know the plausibility of using Firebase for filtering list viewer selections.
I have a spreadsheet with a list of restaurants. Each column represents a different cuisine aspect, such as " breakfast", “burgers”, “upscale”, or “Pizza”. If a restaurant falls into a certain category, I have that cell marked.
In the app, I want the list view to show all of the different cuisine aspects. When a user chooses a list item, for example, “burgers”, I want only the restaurants marked “burgers” to show up in a scrollable arrangement under the list viewer.
Could this work if I have the data in Firebase? Can thunkable do what I want it to do?
If it’s possible, I want to go and try to make it work, but I don’t want to waste a lot of time trying something that ultimately can’t work on this platform.
Thank you all so much!
EDIT:
I’m also looking at the example posted on [App to filter data based on city name](http://community.thunkable.com/t/app-to-filter-data-based-on-city-name/21878/5) by Italo. It looks very similar to what I’m looking for.
