You’ll cover tons of concepts throughout the process of making your Hacker News clone: authenticating users with Firebase in-depth; adding comments; upvoting stories; creating, modifying, and persisting shared link data in real-time with your Firestore database; writing multiple reusable hooks for essential tasks in your app; building and deploying serverless Firebase functions for added functionality; and much more.
