Nice! I really like the design of the website as well, and the domain name. Is there a possibility of implementing Storage.clear or Storage.removeItem?

Looks pretty cool. Any space or bandwidth restrictions?

Not right now, but if I find it becoming pricy I might ask users to verify their account by phone beyond a certain usage threshold, to prevent spammers from using it.

If it keeps getting bigger I'll try other database solutions (MongoDB, DynamoDb, ...)

Nitpick but could have adopted the kv-storage API instead: https://github.com/WICG/kv-storage

I am not sure if that would be a good idea given above.

How can you afford to pay for other people’s storage?

As this storage aims for serverless apps and it isn’t secure (anyone with access to your token can read/write to it) I assume usage won’t be too high. If that won’t be the case I’ll consider cheaper alternatives to Firebase. If it’s still stays an issue then I’ll look for sponsorship.
