Production build

Run the commands:

yarn run build
firebase deploy

To see the firebase data

Install the Firebase CLI.

npm install -g firebase-tools
firebase login

firebase database:get / > factorio-blueprints-export.json

The firebase database is essentially one big json document, and asking to download "/" is asking to download the whole thing. It will only download public info which means you might not have access to other users' favorites. If you need the whole database to read and understand, @FactorioBlueprints can share a copy. Here's some sample data.
