Challenges & Solutions
Real-time Data Consistency
Keeping the UI in sync when multiple teachers updated records simultaneously was causing jitters.
Solution: Utilized Firestore Streams (StreamBuilder) to listen to changes and update the UI atomically.
Role Management
Ensuring students couldn't access admin features via navigation loopholes.
Solution: Implemented robust middleware logic and protected routes based on user claims in Firebase Auth.
