Why I made this & TODO List

I’ve been working with Datastore (Firestore mode) for a while, when one of the tests fails can be tricky to check what happened, maybe I’m wrong, But despite that I’m kinda UI man, so enjoyed making this app in my free time, and it already saved me hours of work :).

TODO

• Paginator
• Entity Viewer
• UI Components for filters
• Entity Editor
• Data Exporter/Importer
• Kind properties viewer
• Clean up the code
• And much more…
