network sync request

Closed this issue · 3 comments

I think it's important we provide our sync libraries in a way that people who use our APIs to build apps are not (technically or conceptually) coupled with firebase. I can see us wanting to retrofit a firebase-like API on top of photon, for example, and have apps switch over to using our own servers without any code changes. I think it might be a good idea to make the sync library not explicitly be "firebase sync" but instead just be cast as "object sync" (analagous to a PUN photon view that syncs transforms) and incidentally use firebase for now (which we can mention in the documentation.) Thoughts?

I don't think it's critical for launch, and in-fact I rather like that we
are leveraging the web for this for the time being. Eventually, yes, we
should have our own.

It has to be firebasesync unless we want everyone using our firebase
account, which may not be possible.
