    Google may say the app hasn't been verified yet. Choose Advanced, then Go to galleyleaf.com.

  2. Choose your Google project

    Looking for your projects…

    Create a new project instead

    Firebase opens in a new tab. When it says your project is ready, come back to this tab. This page finds your project by itself.

    On a phone, switch back with your browser's tabs button. This tab is the one called Galleyleaf.

    Firebase needs 2-Step Verification on your Google account. Google requires it for everyone who uses Firebase. If you haven't turned it on, Firebase asks you to. Or do it first: turn on 2-Step Verification. It takes a couple of minutes and uses your phone.

    1. Click Create a new Firebase project. On your first visit it may say Get started with a Firebase project.
    2. Type your book's title as the project name. The address under it becomes your site's address, ending in .web.app. Click Continue.
    3. Tick the box to accept the Firebase terms, then click Continue.
    4. If it offers AI assistance (Gemini), you can leave it as it is. Click Continue.
    5. Turn off Google Analytics. Galleyleaf doesn't use it. Click Create project.
    6. When it says your project is ready, come back to this tab.

    It's free, and you don't need to add billing. Ignore anything else Firebase offers to set up: this page does it.
