Things to improve

• Refactor the firebase connection. Due to connectivity issues common in react native apps outside of Expo builds, replacing the firebase library for react-native-firebase could prove a major improvement for handling favorites, where the connection usually suffer and hangs.

• Modularization and more modularization! Implement a third context-reducer to contain things such as the favorites handlers, which I didn't quite expect to reuse so much. Either that or set up a redux.

• Work on the albums' visuals. I was hard pressed for time due to all the features I wanted to include, so I barely had any time to give them the love that they diserve.
