LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Oct. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Immersive, character-driven messaging platform, Whipper was featured onstage at Google's Firestore Dev Summit. Whipper leveraged Google Firebase for its mobile offering, and was named a partner in Google's Firestore public beta launch.
"Whipper is honored to be invited by Google to demonstrate how leveraging Firebase was instrumental to our early and present development. Whipper has been leveraging Firebase/Firestore in some pretty innovative ways, and we caught Google's attention early. They have been terrific sounding and advisory boards for us," remarked CTO Romans Bermans.
A Mission to Empower Fan Communities
"The Firebase Dev Summit coincidentally fell on October 31st," added Whipper's CPO, David McKinley. "As we empower communities of gamers, streamers, film and television super-fans to leverage Whipper and take on the attributes of their favorite personalities and characters, we're essentially letting them 'virtual cosplay'. One of our mottos is that 'every-day is Halloween at Whipper', so it's serendipitous that Halloween lines up with the summit."
In Good Company
Along with Whipper, Trivago, CNN, Shazam, and the HomeAway travel site were also featured onstage as early Firestore adoptees and partners.
