1. Clone this repo.
2. Open FireChat-Swift.xcodeproj in Xcode.
3. Edit MessagesViewController.swift and change swift-chat.firebaseio.com to point to your Firebase.

Configure Login

0. Create a new Twitter app to use for login.
1. Go to your Firebase Dashboard and navigate to your Firebase app.
2. Click 'Login & Auth' in the left side menu. Select 'Twitter' and check the box to 'Enable Twitter Login'
3. Paste your Twitter API Key and API Secret into the form.
