Request to Continue Firebase Studio for New Developers

General
1

Dear Google Team,

My name is Rasel Mahmud, and I am a developer from Bangladesh. I have recently started my development journey using Firebase Studio. Despite being a beginner, this platform has enabled me to successfully build and launch several live projects. I am already receiving very positive feedback from clients, which has greatly motivated me to continue.

However, I am deeply concerned about the possibility of Firebase Studio being discontinued. For new developers like me, this would be a significant setback.

Firebase Studio provides several powerful features that are extremely helpful for beginners:

  • Real-time live preview while developing applications

  • Ability to instantly detect issues and fix them through agent assistance

  • Option to modify or add new features by simply sharing ideas with the agent

  • Easy deployment and updates even after delivering projects to clients

I have personally built projects using Next.js within Firebase Studio, and the seamless workflow has allowed me to deliver professional applications even as a beginner.

Additionally, after delivering a project, if a client requests updates or new features, I can easily make those changes and redeploy the project instantly. This level of flexibility is extremely valuable.

My concern is whether these same features will be available in Google AI Studio or the new Antigravity platform. If not, I strongly believe that Firebase Studio should continue to exist.

If maintaining Firebase Studio is challenging, I would respectfully suggest integrating it into a cloud billing system. Developers could be charged based on usage (such as database, hosting, and features), similar to other Google Cloud services. This would allow the platform to remain sustainable while still supporting developers.

I have already started building my business around this platform. I have purchased a domain, made investments, and am planning to establish a company. If my current projects stop working or I lose access to this platform, it would cause me significant financial and professional loss.

As a new developer who is still learning and not yet highly skilled in coding, Firebase Studio has been an essential tool for me. It has helped me grow and move forward in my career.

I am truly grateful to Google for creating such a powerful platform. However, I humbly request that you do not discontinue Firebase Studio, as it plays a crucial role in supporting new developers like myself.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Rasel Mahmud

They have antigravity. I have issue with it. Antigravity similar to vscode (works in offline and online), If the user have two github accounts, everytime the user have delete the github account with password in control panel > user accounts > manage credentials > windows credentails to remove github (username and password ) to add second github account. I as user have professional and personal github accounts. with firebase studio i can use my professional and personal github accounts separately like online ide. Even ssh thing and other github methods to use two accounts in antigravity is not working. I felt antigravity is vscode which also allows me to access gemini google chat.

For google ai apps, it creates apps in react. It is good. sometimes the terminal thing is not proper, it automatically creates gemini ai free tier as api key for my projects which i never wanted. It is accessed in online alone. The project preview in google ai apps for mobile is not viewing properly upto bottom. I can not clone my repos in google ai apps. When i shared my repos link, It recreates the project. It is not showing exact same project to edit.

Firebase studio never did that. Firebase studio allowed me to edit the same frontend and backend theme. It never gave api google ai studio or recreates new theme I wish Google and Firebase studio have discussion about not removing firebase studio ai IDE in online.
