    Notes for Future Reference

    Key Decisions Made

  • Firebase Project Choice: Used existing smartpantry-66c66 project to avoid creating new Firebase project
  • Authentication Strategy: Email whitelist approach with role-based access (parent vs student)
  • Data Structure: NoSQL document structure in Firestore for flexibility
  • Deployment Platform: Cloudflare Pages for global edge hosting and fast load times
  • Styling Approach: Tailwind CSS for rapid development and responsive design

    • Technical Constraints

  • Single Firebase Project: Shared with other family applications, using collection prefixes
  • Client-Side Only: No server-side code, all logic in React frontend
  • Real-Time Sync: Leveraging Firestore's real-time listeners for instant updates
  • Security: All security enforced via Firebase Security Rules

    • Known Issues

  • Login Error (January 15, 2026): Users getting "Access Denied" error
    • - Cause: dominicstasks.pages.dev not authorized in Firebase - Solution: Add domain to Firebase Authorized Domains - Status: Pending fix
