Hey again, Corbin and community.
I followed Corbin’s amazing six-hour “build an app from scratch” video and I’ve successfully launched my software platform using Firebase in my tech stack.
I have two quick questions:
- Google Auth branding — When using Firebase Google Authentication, the consent screen and URL still show the Firebase project name (eg. myapp-prod.firebaseapp.com). From memory, I’m pretty sure Corbin mentioned somewhere in the video to enter your actual company/platform name in a specific place in the Firebase console to avoid this exact display issue, but it went over my head before live launch. Is there a way to fix or customize this?
- Passwordless email deliverability — I’m using Firebase passwordless sign-in/sign-up (same as in the video). The magic link emails are consistently landing in spam. Is there a good way to fix this?
I had the idea of extracting the magic link URL from Firebase and sending it through my own email provider. Does this approach work well? Has anyone found better alternatives, or do you just have to live with Firebase emails going to spam?
For reference, I do show the user a message to check their spam folder (like in Corbin’s video), but it would be much better if they landed in the inbox.
Would really appreciate any advice!
Thankyou :)
