Question on layout

[erikswed]

hello
I was interested in your app and still learning React Redux. I could run your app after update all package.json dependencies. But it looks like the header menu is missing when I start the app.
Look at the image?
You also in the app have your firebase credential Api key so the app download images from you!
(thanks)
What do you think the reason for the missing menu is? The log does not say anything.

Hej @erikswed 🇸🇪,
Thanks for checking out my project and for letting me know of my oversight with the API key. Fortunately, it's just the public API key so there's no harm in exposing it, other than the headache for others when they clone the project. If you want to get started with your own Firebase project you can add the required config in ./src/Firebase/config.js.

I never made a header menu for this one. It's a single page with a flow of images in the masonry grid layout so there is no navigation. The only thing that's meant to be in the header is the name.

I made a companion admin app for this to upload your images to Firebase, but it's private since I've probably polluted it with admin API keys from firebase 🤦‍♂️

I had big plans for this one (as evident by the readme), but I landed a job pretty soon after starting this project and never had the time to finish it. Along with that, I had less time for photography so this project became a low priority.

This project is pretty outdated by now, I've been wanting to get back to it (and photography) but I've taken a different direction with my stack recently. I'm going to recreate this with some changes in the coming months.

• Gatsby or Next.js for fast static page rendering (possibly a Gatsby starter)
• Switch to Sanity.io instead of Firebase to get an easier admin solution
• Ditch Redux in favour of React context to simplify the setup
• React hooks
• TypeScript
• Add a checkout solution with either Stripe or Snipcart

I'm considering making a tutorial or course out of it as well for anyone interested.

Thanks for clarifying I run some Android Firebase/Firestore project so that's why your project was
interesting to learn some Redux. I look forward to your future tutorials!

I see. Well, to be honest, I don't really use Redux for anything anymore. I find context and hooks replace 99% of what I ever used Redux for in the first place with a much simpler implementation. That said, Redux is still a great tool.

Thanks :) it will most likely drop on my blog first as a few posts. Then more in-depth as a course.
