Feedback for Google Firebase Studio
Hello Firebase Team,
First of all, thank you for building Firebase Studio – the tool’s integration with Firebase services and backend setup is working well. However, I would like to share some honest feedback based on my experience using it to build web apps.
🔧 What’s Working Well:
Firebase services integration is smooth.
Backend connectivity and authentication flow are reliable.
Easy to link with Firestore, Auth, and other core services.
❌ What Needs Improvement:
Idea Implementation Feels Basic:
The concept generation is too plain. When I enter an idea or app concept, I expect the tool to intelligently add related features or modules, but currently, it just scaffolds a basic setup with little depth.
Tools like Replit AI, Lovable AI, or FlutterFlow give smart suggestions and auto-build useful, customizable components.
e-Signature Functionality is Weak:
The eSign part is not intuitive or visually modern.
Needs better UI for signature capture, downloadable PDFs, and mobile responsiveness.
Design System & UI Customization is Very Limited:
It’s hard to make apps look modern or production-ready using default styles.
Lack of ready-made UI templates, design themes (like material, glassmorphism, or neomorphic).
No drag-and-drop interface or component styling options.
No Visual Builder or Live Preview:
Would be helpful to have a side-by-side live preview that updates in real time as we edit code.
A drag-and-drop component builder like in FlutterFlow would really boost productivity.
Lack of AI Assistance or Recommendations:
A simple idea prompt like “Build a chat app” should suggest login, chat UI, backend structure, etc.
AI could help with structure setup, security rules, or visual improvements.
✅ Suggested Improvements:
Add smart AI idea-to-feature mapping.
Improve eSign module with better UX and export options.
Include modern UI templates and design systems.
Build visual UI editor and live preview.
Suggest features & integrations based on app type.
🧠 Why It Matters:
Tools like Replit, FlutterFlow, and Lovable AI are helping creators build professional web apps just from an idea prompt. Firebase Studio has a solid backend, but without intelligent frontend and visual tools, it's hard to rely on it fully as a product builder.
I truly believe with a few upgrades, Firebase Studio can become the go-to builder for both developers and makers.
Thanks for listening!
Looking forward to seeing what’s next. 🚀
