I'm developing Empyrebase, a Python wrapper that makes Firebase access a breeze by allowing interaction with services like Realtime Database, Firestore, Authentication, and Cloud Storage. It offers features like token auto-refresh, streaming support, and strong type hinting, making it ideal for developers who build Python backends or CLI tools that need Firebase integration. Empyrebase is a modern spin on the outdated pyrebase, adding Firestore support, modular design, and better testability. I'm looking for your thoughts: What features would you find most helpful? Are there any Firebase functionalities you'd like to see? Any struggles you've had with other wrappers? I appreciate any suggestions you have, whether here or on GitHub!

Can I count on your library to help transition my big Firebase project to Firestore?
I usually just use JSON to interact with Firebase, but I'm intrigued by your wrapper!
You mentioned it's fully type hinted, but I noticed some files might not be. Will it really work with mypy's strict mode?
You're correct! I forgot to push my latest updates that add full type hints. I'll make sure to do that soon, thanks for pointing it out!
Absolutely! I created Empyrebase precisely for this purpose, as I'm already using it in large applications. Just remember to back up your code before starting, and I'm here to help if you hit any snags!
