@@SiliconAlley Yes, we lookingat creating a simple check-in app for the school my wife works for. Currently its such a pain to manually check-in the kids, temperature , date and time. I'm hoping I can get some direction and insight from you if you able to give me some direction.
@@MarlonVan Absolutely! I've built variations of check-in apps so it is definitely doable. Start with mapping out the ideal experience for the teachers. Is it as simple as selecting a few check-boxes that then input the date & time automitcally? Sounds like the only real input is the temperature. The other piece is reporting. You can save the data to an Airtable table or google sheet if that's how the school reports it. I live with a middle school science teacher so I often find that is the challenge is she'll find a cool tool that works for her but she still has to manually port that data over to their reporting system.
@@SiliconAlley Thats pretty much what we want to have developed. You are such a wealth of knowledge and very helpful bro. I going to give it a shot now.
@@MarlonVan Definitely do! Once you list out your features and the reporting piece you can work on designing. It should be very doable. If you are looking for a basic checklist though. I haven't done as much research but Airtable also has out-of-the-box apps you can create. I think they are more targeted at businesses, but that could also be another option.
It depends on your level of coding knowledge. Firebase is great for user accounts and profiles then AppGyver has the ability to share to outside platforms. But most backends should work as it doesn't sound too complex.
Hey, thanks for the video, but I am having trouble with firebase as the amount of reads in my project grow exponentially, had you made an appgyver app with firebase, and if so could you tell me how did you solve the problem? Thanks in advance!
I'd love to but I just don't have the time at the moment. I believe they've made it even easier with some direct integrations. What specifically are you looking to get synced?
Where in AppGyver do I connect to Firebase and how. If you could just tell me how would appreciate it. I did get things setup in Firebase and where do I test to see if it works that is all. Thank You
It's through firebase, but I hired a developer to help solve that problem becuase it required some coding skills that I didn't have. I'd pop in the firebase forums to see if anyone can do it for you.
Is there a way to add media as a file type in the firestore database to easily allow users to upload files, photos & videos, or do we have to do it another way? I'm currently learning JavaScript & other programming languages, so I don't mind coding my own advanced functions as long as firebase makes it easy to organize & reuse functions on multiple apps.
You can use the firebase cloud storage buckets for media files. Here is teh link to the documentation to read up on it. You can use the AppGyver front end-logic with your defined storage bucket to deal with media files. firebase.google.com/docs/storage
@@SiliconAlley I'm reading through the docs now. So far, it looks like I will need to import some Firebase packages to Visual Studio, I'm comfortable with Visual Studio, so that won't be a problem as long as they have step-by-step instructions. Hopefully, I'll be able to easily add other cloud storage such as BOX & Dropbox because they offer unlimited storage, which will be essential for content creators such as gaming channels. It will be easy once I understand the mid to high level process of how to connect clod storage services to a database, so users can easily upload files to that cloud storage. Hopefully I can find an in depth video or course that breaks all of this down.
@@SiliconAlley I wanted to use Appgyver, but can't because Appgyver doesn't have media players & there is no way to add a media player with custom code or create a plugin.
You'd have to integrate that in with a payment provider. Also if people subscribe directly in the app you'll have to pay the App Store and Google play fees which are a percentage of the revenue from in app purchases. Spotify and Netflix make you go use a computer or a web browser to subscribe so they avoid the app store fees.
I'm not sure what you mean exactly. You can have an AppGyver app that doesn't need to be connected to the internet to function. You could also do some sort of caching where you load all the content you need upon open and store the data on the device. You'll need to do more research and a question to dive in deeper on the forums to make sure it's possible.
@@SiliconAlley A in depth video comparing database backends for appgyver will help lots of people because it's the most important step with getting started with appgyver.
Those were tough for me to figure out at first too. You can use just general allow everyone to read-write while you are in development then you'll need to figure out limiting it as you go to production. What is messing you up? Happy to help where I can.
Just got a new subscriber! Love your channel
Thanks for supporting!
This is a valid information combining firebase, appgyver and airtable you just answered all my questions,
Glad you found it helpful! Any other burning questions I can help answer?
Thank you so much Bro... I'm loving your videos, they are so helpful.
Glad you found the videos helpful! Anything, in particular, you are looking to get answered still or questions about other backend options?

thanks friend for your approach...for your analysis, I will keep it in mind, since I will start using appgyver.🙏🙏
Good luck! Keep me posted on how it goes and if I can be helpful
@@SiliconAlley Thank you friend, thank you very much 🙏🙌, I will keep it in mind, greetings from Chile 🖐

A great presentation - thanks a bunch!

What do you mean the number of reads?
Are you worried about scalability? Cost?
Can you provide a bit more detail on your concern?
I need help setting up AppGyver & Firebase would be great if you could make a tutorial.
I'd love to but I just don't have the time at the moment. I believe they've made it even easier with some direct integrations.

How to send push notification for android app build by appgyver, please help me

Great video. Thanks for that. Could you please consider making a video: Using Xano + Appgyver Together...
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add that to the queue of future video topics. Anything in particular that interests you about Xano?
Is bill payment, like tv sub payment achievable with appgyver?
You'd have to integrate that in with a payment provider. Also if people subscribe directly in the app you'll have to pay the App Store and Google play fees which are a percentage of the revenue from in app purchases.
Spotify and Netflix make you go use a computer or a web browser to subscribe so they avoid the app store fees.
Would you know if Firebase Offline (Android) capabilities supported here with Appgyver?
I'm not sure what you mean exactly. You can have an AppGyver app that doesn't need to be connected to the internet to function. You could also do some sort of caching where you load all the content you need upon open and store the data on the device.

love you bro
Love you too broski
Is Xano or Backendless worth the higher price over Firebase? That would actually be a good video comparing the top 5 or so backends for appgyver.
That's a really great suggestion! I appreciate you bringing those ideas up. I'll add them to the queue of the next videos to create.

@@LoneLeagle Perfect! That makes complete sense. I'll work on that.
@@SiliconAlley Can't wait to see it.
@@LoneLeagle Will let you know when I've got it done, edited, and published. :)
And yet I’m still stuck on the security rules for firebase.
Those were tough for me to figure out at first too. You can use just general allow everyone to read-write while you are in development then you'll need to figure out limiting it as you go to production.
