GeoFire for Obj-C and Java has been heavily requested for a while now. You may be the first to ask for a Swift version though! It's not on the schedule at the moment but we definitely hope to port the library to other languages at some point in the future.

Hey HN, I’m the author of GeoFire 2.0. We built GeoFire to provide Firebase users with a client-side solution to querying geolocations in an efficient manner. You can use it to store geolocation data about items (e.g. cars, restaurants, hotel rooms) and then do location-based queries on that data in realtime. The library is built entirely on top of Firebase and has no extra server-side components. And its API will now feel right at home for anyone who is familiar with the API for the Firebase web client. It is backed by a comprehensive test suite and fixes some long-standing bugs in the original implementation. I would love to hear and respond to any feedback or questions you’ve got. And also to see what you create with it!

I really appreciate the great feedback! I will take another look at the doc sections you mentioned and see how I can work in your comments without getting too verbose. I think that since the people who write the docs are the ones who make the API, we take some things for granted which we shouldn't. The only way to find that out is to get great feedback from people like you, so thank you!

Also, glad to hear you like the hosting! We're really proud of what we launched today and have a lot of plans for it into the future. If you have any more suggestions, feel free to email me. You can find my email in my profile.

Take a look at the "Reading Data From Firebase" doc (https://www.firebase.com/docs/reading-data.html). If you've got some feedback on it or think it isn't clear enough, I'd be happy to chat with you and see how we can improve the docs.

OP here. I would love to hear any feedback or suggestions on the ReactFireMixin I made.
