When should i not use redux-firestore

Honestly, now a days, I haven't been using redux to store data for new apps I create using Firebase. The Firebase SDK itself handles de-duping listeners, so state will propagate to all of your components straight from there

Planning on writing up a medium article or something to clarify this for others, but great question

Here is the above mentioned medium article

Added a note to react-redux-firebase, and am planning to add one to redux-firestore as well.

@prescottprue Your Medium article is great. Thanks for writing that.

@abnersouza @prescottprue You should not use this lib if you care about SEO and the core vitals of your website. This library's bundle size, combined with react-redux-firebase plus firebase/firestore adds about 140kb to your common bundle size. And there's no way to lazy-load the firestore lib. But if you're a newbie building a dashboard or a private web app, this lib gets you going pretty quickly. The documentation is good and it's stable.
