## Getting Started

You will need to grab your own `google-services.json` and `GoogleService-Info.plist`. Head over to firebase.com and create a new application.

You will then need to modify your configuration files to match the Hacker News API:

`./android/app/google-services.json`:

```js

    "firebase_url": "https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com"

```

`./ios/Hekla/GoogleService-Info.plist`

```xml

	DATABASE_URL

	https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com

```
