Firebase is a free Google service that stores your data in the cloud so your whole family can access the tracker from any device. Follow these steps to set it up:
1
Create a Firebase project
Go to console.firebase.google.com, sign in with your Google account, and click "Create a project". Name it something like "excel-tracker". Disable Google Analytics when asked (you don't need it).
2
Create a Realtime Database
In the left sidebar, click "Build" → "Realtime Database". Click "Create Database". Choose any location. Select "Start in test mode" (this lets your family read/write data without login).
3
Get your config
Click the ⚙️ gear icon → "Project settings". Scroll down to "Your apps" and click the </> (Web) icon. Register an app (any name). Copy the databaseURL value — it looks like https://your-project-default-rtdb.firebaseio.com
This is the databaseURL from your Firebase config. It ends in .firebaseio.com
