🐞 Issue: Firebase Storage Limitation Prevents Product Image Uploads
🌸 Project: LIORA – Menstrual Wellness App
📌 Description
Currently, the Firebase Storage plan used in the LIORA project has very limited storage capacity. Due to this limitation, product images cannot be uploaded from the Admin Dashboard unless sufficient storage space is available.
This directly impacts the Wellness Shop feature, as admins are unable to add or manage product images, resulting in an incomplete or degraded user experience on the shop side.
❗ Problem Statement
- Firebase Storage quota is insufficient
- Image uploads fail or are blocked
- Admin cannot add product images while creating or editing products
- Shop UI cannot display product images without manual workarounds
🧩 Affected Area
- Admin Dashboard
- Wellness Shop
- Firebase Storage
🛠️ Expected Behavior
- Admin should be able to upload product images seamlessly
- Images should be stored securely and efficiently
- Product listings should display images correctly in the app
📉 Current Behavior
- Image upload only works if storage space is manually freed
- No graceful handling or warning when storage is full
💡 Suggested Solutions
- Upgrade Firebase Storage plan (recommended)
- Enable storage usage monitoring and alerts
- Implement image compression before upload
- Use an external image hosting service (Cloudinary, AWS S3, etc.)
- Add admin-side validation or error messaging for storage limits
🚧 Priority
🔴 High – Blocks product management and shop completeness
🟡 Project Status
In Active Development
🙌 Additional Notes
Resolving this issue will significantly improve admin workflow and enable a fully visual, user-friendly wellness shop experience aligned with LIORA’s design philosophy.
