Dominik's Portal

To enable live, real-time database sync across multiple devices (e.g. from guests at home or across the city), follow these simple steps to configure Firebase:

1. Go to the Firebase Console and log in with your Google account.
2. Click Add Project, name it (e.g., "birthday-portal"), and disable Google Analytics (optional).
3. Once ready, click the Web icon (</>) to register your web application.
4. Create a database: Click Realtime Database in the left sidebar, click Create Database, select your location, and start in locked mode (or test mode).
5. Navigate to database Rules tab and set both .read and .write to true (so guests can read/write without authentication):

   {
     "rules": {
       ".read": true,
       ".write": true
     }
   }

6. Go to Project Settings (gear icon next to Project Overview) and copy the values from the firebaseConfig object.
7. Open this BDAY.html file in any text editor, locate the firebaseConfig object around line 890, paste your keys, and save.

Note: If no Firebase configuration is entered, the portal automatically falls back to storing data locally inside each user's browser (LocalStorage).
