Description

We're considering ejecting from expo:

Pros
- Use [React Native Firebase](https://rnfirebase.io/) instead of the Firebase Web SDK. React Native Firebase has several features/APIs which we want to use.

Cons
- Using Expo helps onboard new contributors quickly. If we eject, we will likely need some more involved maintenance to keep everything running smoothly for new contributors.
