Storage Migration (2025)

What Changed

This codebase has been migrated from Supabase to a client-side storage solution:

• Removed: Supabase client, database, storage, and authentication
• Replaced with:
  • localStorage for data persistence (blog posts, portfolio items)
  • localStorage-based authentication
  • Imgur as a read-only image CDN

Image Handling

• Images are now served from Imgur (read-only CDN)
• All images use the SafeImage component with automatic fallback to placeholder images
• Image URLs should be full Imgur URLs or local asset paths

Data Storage

• Blog posts and portfolio items are stored in browser localStorage
• Data persists across sessions but is browser-specific
• Default data is loaded from src/data/blog.ts and src/data/portfolio.ts on first load

Authentication

• Admin authentication uses localStorage (simple email-based check)
• Session expires after 7 days
• Admin email: [email protected]

Future Migration

This is a temporary solution. To switch to a different provider:

1. Images: Update image URLs in data files to use the new CDN
2. Storage: Replace src/utils/localStorage.ts with your backend API
3. Auth: Replace src/utils/localStorage.ts auth functions with your auth provider

The codebase is structured to make this migration straightforward - all data access goes through centralized utilities.
