I'm using Visual Studio with React Native to build a web application. I'm new this and I would like to host my project called (lost) as a web app using firebase hosting. Here is the project structure:

Currently, the "backend" folder is empty but this is where I want to init firebase. I tried to do this but ended up with a launched web app showing a firebase welcome screen. This is because of the index.html generated when doing init firebase. The index.html file looks like this:

Is it possible to have the firebase related files in the "backend" folder? Am I supposed to change anything in the index.html file to make it show my project and not the welcome screen or is it supposed to be generated automatically somehow?

Thank you! /William
