Zero to App Live coding an Android app on Firebase in Kotlin

on YouTube ↗47m

" summary

Live-coded an Android Kotlin app that records audio, uploads it to Cloud Storage, Authentication, Realtime Database, and triggers Cloud Functions with Speech and Translate APIs to transcribe and translate into many target languages. The pipeline uses a pushed DB key -> storage blob -> function that writes transcript -> function that forks parallel translate requests and writes back per-language results. Demo has minor Android permission and mic-resource hiccups but the end-to-end flow runs and returns translations to connected clients.
