What is Firemap and how does it fix Firestore?

Firemap's a visual schema tool with ODM and crawler—designs your Firestore model, generates safe code, spots prod drift.

Does Firemap replace Firestore converters?

Kinda—its typed ODM with runtime checks blows away basic converters, cuts boilerplate.

Core ODM open-source, free tier; pro for teams with crawlers, advanced gen.

Tested: Strong validation, less boilerplate; but it's a band-aid on Google's flexible-but-fragile core. 𝕏
