We may want to use Firebase or Firestore.

@ObjectiveCesar what do you think of using Firestore to store some or all of this app's content and then having a companion app for @rlisenko & I that would allow us to update/add to this content while at the conference?

perhaps we then would also need a very simple app or two for ourselves to be able to write the quizzes and conversation starters and push them to the cloud storage

How might a conversation-starter text fit into the UI, how could it feel like something a person would want to ask a stranger?

Maybe a non-required field with a tech-based prompt like “do you prefer SwiftUI or UIKit, tabbed vs spaces” something most everyone attending has an opinion on, prior to entering in the other persons’ name and contact info because...(insert motive here)

I have no real experience in dealing with data hosted on Firestore but I guess this could be an easy solution. If you want to create a companion app to add/edit the hosted data you would also need to deal with authorisations since you only want you companion app to have write access to your data.

But sounds like a doable job to me. :)
