Description

If I manually create the "scraper/categories" collection/document then it works fine, but initially the UI is just blank.
Any reasons why? I already tried `firebase --project="project" emulators:start` in the commandline along with putting the project id in the "initializeApp" function but nothing works to initially show me the data. This is data imported locally from my live database. It all works fine and it's all there I just have to manually create the initial path every time.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the blank UI with imported local data using `firebase --project="project" emulators:start` and the project ID in `initializeApp`. Compare the initial view with the state after manually creating `scraper/categories`; done means the existing imported data appears without manually creating the collection or document.
