I keep hitting the same issue with Firebase.
The console is fine at the start, but once the project grows a bit, it gets pretty annoying to manage data there.
I’ve rebuilt admin panels a few times just to deal with it, and it always feels like I’m repeating the same work.
Lately I’ve been trying a different approach — using WordPress as a kind of admin UI for Firestore instead of building something from scratch every time.
I even put together a small plugin to try this out — it basically lets me browse collections and edit documents from WordPress instead of the Firebase Console.
So far it’s been surprisingly practical.
Curious how others are handling this.
If you’ve run into it before, I’d appreciate honest feedback — even if it’s just “this doesn’t make sense”.
