Sorry for breaking it, I couldn't help it =/


(I worked on the GeoFire library) GeoFire converts the latitude-longitude coordinates of a data point to its geohash, and stores the data in Firebase at the geohash. The properties of geohashes and Firebase play nicely together to make it easy to implement localized search and location querying.


This is just points right? Any plans to expand to other shapes? (ie: PostGIS)

I wonder if anyone has substituted a Hilbert space representation for geohashes... ;)
