Hey everyone 👋

I’ve been working on a small plugin to manage Firebase (Firestore) data directly from the WordPress admin.

The idea came from a recurring problem I kept running into:

every time I built something with Firebase, I ended up creating a custom admin panel just to manage data.

At some point I thought… why not just use WordPress for that?

So I built a plugin that lets you:

- Browse Firestore collections

- View and edit documents

- Perform basic CRUD operations

- Handle data from a familiar WP interface

All without touching the Firebase console.

It’s still early, but I’m already using it in my own projects.

👉 Plugin (free):

https://wordpress.org/plugins/backoffice-manager-for-firebase/

Why WordPress? I know it might sound a bit unusual to use WordPress for this, but in practice it solves a couple of problems for me:

- I already have user management, roles and permissions

- Non-technical users are familiar with the interface

-I don’t have to build a custom admin panel for every project

So instead of creating a new backend each time, I just reuse WordPress as a simple backoffice.

I’d really appreciate feedback on:

- Does this make sense as a use case?

- Would you use WordPress as a backoffice for - Firebase projects?

- What would be missing for this to be useful in a real project?
