Hey Indie Hackers,
Building an E-commerce store or a SaaS on Firebase is fast, but the security sync is a nightmare. I noticed that every time I added a new collection to my web app, I had to manually switch context to update firestore.rules.
If you forget just once, you have a security hole. If you use allow if true for speed, you have a liability. I call this "Security Debt."
I built FireRule Guard to automate this. It’s a VS Code extension that:
Scans your code: It finds your collection calls and writes the rules for you.
Audits in real-time: It flags insecure rules with a linter.
Saves time: No more manual syncing.
Whether you're building a simple website or a complex enterprise software, this tool keeps your data locked down while you focus on shipping features.
