----------------- Next steps & notes -----------------
1) Firebase:
- Create a Firebase project and add a Web app.
- Replace firebaseConfig above with your project's values.
- In console -> Authentication -> enable Email/Password sign-in.
- In console -> Firestore -> create a database (start locked; set rules below).
- In console -> Storage -> create a bucket (default).
2) Recommended Firestore Security Rules (starter):
- Important: restrict writes so only admin can create posts.
Example (use the Rules tab in Firebase console):
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /posts/{postId} {
allow read: if true;
allow create: if request.auth != null && request.auth.token.email == "YOUR_ADMIN_EMAIL@example.com";
allow update, delete: if request.auth != null && request.auth.token.email == "YOUR_ADMIN_EMAIL@example.com";
}
match /posts/{postId}/comments/{commentId} {
allow create: if request.auth != null;
allow read: if true;
}
match /posts/{postId}/likes/{likeId} {
allow create, delete: if request.auth != null;
allow read: if true;
}
match /followers/{followerId} {
allow create: if true;
allow read: if request.auth != null && request.auth.token.email == "YOUR_ADMIN_EMAIL@example.com";
}
}
}
- Alternatively, use custom claims or an admins collection to check admin UIDs.
3) Email notifications:
- Use Firebase Cloud Functions + SendGrid (or Mailgun) to send follower emails on post creation.
- In the canvas starter I left a sample Cloud Function snippet — I can provide a ready-to-deploy function if you want.
4) Deployment:
- Build & host on Vercel or Netlify (static React). Put Firebase config in client; it's fine as these keys are public identifiers.
- Protect production Firestore with correct rules (very important).
5) Improvements you may want:
- CAPTCHA for follower sign-ups to prevent spam.
- Rate-limiting like/comment actions.
- Pagination/virtualized feed for performance.
- Admin dashboard to manage followers, remove spam comments, delete posts.
If you want, I can:
- Generate the Firebase Cloud Function for sending emails (SendGrid) and step-by-step deploy commands.
- Create a `package.json`, `tailwind.config.js`, and `styles.css` starter so you can `npm install` and run locally.
- Lock down Firestore rules using custom claims (I can show how to set a custom admin claim).
Which of those should I do next? */
