This did not show up during testing. I’ll try to fix it as fast as possible.

UPDATE: This was a problem with how usernames were shown on the web dashboard. Please visit your web dashboard and copy the username as it shows up now. There’s actually also a recent problem with Blockstack where data storage would sometimes only be available 24 hours after the first data storage action on an app. If copying the new username doesn’t work, you might just need to wait. Sorry about any inconvenience that may arise from this.

I used the new name i saw but that didn’t fix it.

Again, this might be the problem:
It will be very helpful if you open source the code

I was thinking of that, but no, not at the moment.
I said because it will be more secure if we host it ourselves. At last it’s your wish…
However, where do you host the panel?
The panel is hosted on vercel.com. Actual data is stored on Blockstack, which is a distributed platform. But since Blockstack is a distributed platform, you can store your data pretty much anywhere (on a network of servers, on your server, in the cloud, etc.). I’m working on implementing support for this on Panel.
I still haven’t been able to open the notebook, a question: what is the relationship between user account, variables and app?
An account holds variables that can be written from the dashboard, and read from the app.
Also: Here’s a quick heads-up that accounts can take up to 24 hours to start working due to an upstream bug in Blockstack (the decentralized blockchain storage/security system).

You could use one account for multiple apps, however, it’s recommended that each app has its own account.

Extension icon is MASSIVE on App Inventor, destroys screen appearance, unusable - I see it points to an image 3200x3200 !! This only needs to be 48x48.

according to the App Inventor Extensions document,
chapter 3.2.1 Restrictions on extension components
The icon should be a 16×16 png file

I didn’t understand how you can say that it is totally free and not limited at all.
Even huge companies like Google can’t offer free unlimited host for free. I read the topic and I couldn’t understand exactly how you can give it free and unlimited. Is your project part of some program like the one Kodular has with arubacloud?
Because your servers are not unlimited, right? If there is 1 thousands of apps or a thousand connections at same time may be it can take it, but at some point the servers won’t be able to store all the data or handle all the requisitions, right?
Don’t misunderstand me, I really think you had a great idea. But if it becomes a very successeful project it may become a problem for the people who migrated from firebase to your extension for example. The person who use your extension will totally depend on it to make a lot of important changes, so it must be measured very carefully.

What I understood :
-The variables can only be changed by the adm panel on the web.
-We use this variables via extension in the blocks where there are only 2 GET blocks.
So, it is not to replace Firebase.
Or did I get it wrong?

Yep, for replacing firebase, it is not able to edit the data inside the app.
By using this we only get the values that we manually set in admin panel.

What i understand is that data is stored decentralized if i get the theorie behind blockstack/blockchain right.

Tried it just yet but still no luck. Just have to wait a little longer.

The updated version is now available from the Panel dashboard. As you wanted, I decreased image size to 48x48! The Panel dashboard now also makes it possible to see whether or not your app data is available to your app yet (it can take time).
